Popis: Four coordination compounds, namely [Na(H2O)(H2O)2⊂C40H50N20O10](C6H6O2)2Cl·8H2O (1), [K2(H2O)2(H2O)⊂C40H50N20O10](C6H6O2)2Cl2·7H2O (2), [Rb2(H2O)2(H2O)⊂C40H50N20O10](C6H6O2)2Cl2·7H2O (3) and [Cs(H2O)2(H2O⊂C40H50N20O10)](C6H6O2)2Cl·6H2O (4), were obtained by the reactions of the corresponding alkali metal salts with decamethylcucurbit[5]uril (Me10Q[5]) in the presence of hydroquinone, and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results revealed that in compounds 1 and 4 each Me10Q[5] ligand coordinates one Na+ or Cs+ ion to form a molecular bowl structure, while in compounds 2 and 3 each Me10Q[5] ligand coordinates two K+ or Rb+ ions to form a closed molecular capsule structure, and adjacent molecular capsules bridge each other through water molecules to form 1D coordination polymers. In addition, we found that the coordination distances for the metal ions and the height of the metal ions out-of-portal-plane for the four compounds are in the same order, 1
