A new complex of a chiral monoaza-crown ether, [R-(-)-2-ethyl-N-benzyl-4,7,10,13-tetraoxa-8,9-benzo-1-azacyclopentadec-8-ene.NaClO4], has been prepared and studied by x-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in space group P2(1) with cell dimensions a = 8.721(1), b = 16.318(2), c = 8.905( 1) Angstrom, beta = 100.80(1)degrees. The sodium cation is heptacoordinated and located significantly out of the best plane of the macrocycle ring. The donor atoms of the macrocycle are in the half-chair arrangement.
