Application

  • 18-Crown-6 coordinated metal halides with bright luminescence and nonlinear optical effects: This study explores the luminescence and nonlinear optical properties of crown-ether coordination compounds, indicating potential applications in optoelectronics and photonics (Merzlyakova et al., 2021).
  • 18-Crown-6–sodium cholate complex: thermochemistry, structure, and stability: The study investigates the complex formation between 18-Crown-6 and sodium cholate, offering insights into the thermodynamic stability and structural characteristics of this complex (Mihelj et al., 2014).
  • Alkali Metal Ion Recognition by 18-Crown-6 in Aqueous Solutions: This article presents evidence from local structures on how 18-Crown-6 selectively recognizes and binds alkali metal ions, useful for designing more effective ion-selective sensors (Jing et al., 2023).
  • Influence of 18-Crown-6 Ether Coordination on the Catalytic Activity of Potassium and Calcium Diarylphosphinites: Exploring how 18-Crown-6 ethers influence the catalytic activity in hydrophosphorylation reactions, this research provides a pathway to understanding the role of crown ethers in catalysis (Härling et al., 2017).
