Cations, crowns, and phase transfer catalysts

The following images (click image for full-size view) show potential maps (0 –> +1500), ball-and-spoke formulas, and space-filling formulas of(CH3CH2CH2CH2)N+ (top left)PhCH2N(Et)3+ (top center)18-crown-6(K+) (right)Li+, Na+, K+ (bottom left) The potentials surrounding the organic cations are more moderate, but not… Continue reading
