A method was developed for the synthesis of nitrobenzoazacrown ethers by N-demethylation of N-methyl-nitrobenzoazacrown ethers on treatment with ammonium iodide, resulting in the formation of benzoazacrown ethers in 95–100 % yields. The spatial structure of nitrobenzoazacrown ethers and their complexation behaviour towards alkali and alkaline-earth metal cations, ammonium ions, and fluoride anions were investigated using X-ray diffraction and 1H NMR spectroscopy. It was shown that the stability of host–guest type complexes of nitrobenzoazacrown ethers with metal and ammonium cations in MeCN-d3 is lower than the stability of complexes formed by N-alkyl-substituted analogues with the same macrocycle size. It was shown that fluoride anions in DMSO-d6 or MeCN-d3 can bind to nitrobenzoazacrown ethers via hydrogen bonding with the NH group of the macrocycle.
