Abstract: Aspeleand imidazolium cyclophane [C30 H33 N6 3+ ·Br3-·3H2O](2,21,29-trimethyl-5,16,24-triaza-8,19,27-triazonia heptacyclo [10.10.6.11,3.15,8.110,14.116,19.124,27 ]tritriazonia- 1,3(29),6,8(30),10,12,14(31),17,19(32),21,25,27(33)-dodecene tribromide trihydrate was synthesized by direct quaterisation of 1,3,5-trimethyl- 2,4,6-tri(imidazolylmethyl)benzene with m-tri(bromomethyl)benzene in high yield. Its molecular and crystal structures were characterized by 1H NMR, FAB-MS, elementary analysis, IR, UVand X-ray diffraction. The crystal is of monoclinic system, space group P21 with a=0.8634(2) nm, b=0.8170(4) nm, c=1.0884(2) nm, β=112.03(1)°, V=1.5828(6) nm3, Z=2, R=0.0336, F (000)=780. The bromides form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The molecular structure indicates that the title compound can selectively recognize some anions or neutral molecules.
