Structural aspects of the binding of halides in the octaaza cryptand (1,4,11,14,17,24,29,36-octa-azapentacyclo[12.12.12.26,9.219,22.231,34]-tetratetraconta-6(43),7,9(44),19(41),20,22(42),31(39),32,34(40)-nonaene, N(CH2CH2NHCH2-p-xylyl-CH2NHCH2CH2)3N), L1, were examined for fluoride, chloride, and bromide. Crystallographic results for twodifferent fluoride complexes indicated cascade-like coordination, with two fluoride ions inside the tren-based cavity,bridged by a water molecule. In the two different chloride structures, a single chloride and a water molecule occupiedthe cavity. The bromide structure contained two crystallographically independent cationic cryptands. Unit A consistedof a bromide on one side of the cavity and three disordered water molecules situated between the cryptand armson the other side. Unit B also had a bromide inside the cavity at one side, but a single molecule of water wascentered at the other side of the cavity. Association constants for the three ions, determined by NMR titrations inaqueous solution at pH 5, revealed log Ka = 3.15(5), 3.37(3), and 3.34(4) for fluoride, chloride, and bromide,respectively.
