Children learn through play, and they learn more than adults might expect. Science experiments are a great way to spark their curiosity, get their minds active, and encourage them to do something that doesn¡¯t involve a screen. 1806-29-7, C12H10O2.

Molecular and crystal structure of crown ethers containing biphenyl fragment
The results of the experimental (IR, UV and 1H NMR spectroscopy, mass-spectrometry and X-ray crystallography) and theoretical (ab initio quantum-chemical method using the B3LYP functional and cc-pVDZ basis set) study of the molecular and crystalline structure of 2,2?-biphenylen-14-crown-4 (1), -17-crown-5 (2), -20-crown-6 (3) and bis-(2,2?-biphenylen)-28-crown-8 (4) are discussed. The increase in the macrocycle results in the transfer from its crown-like conformation into the boat and following chair-like conformation. The conformation of the cyclic polyethers’ 1-4 aliphatic part is additionally stabilized by the intramolecular C{single bond}H ? O hydrogen bonds, and the conformation of the biphenyl fragment in all compounds 1-4 stays practically the same and is stipulated mainly by the repulsion between the ortho,ortho?-oxygen atoms as well as steric interaction of the C{single bond}H fragment of the aromatic ring and the closest to it methylene groups. The crown ethers’ 1-4 molecular packing in the crystals is defined by the tendency to parallel orientation of the biphenyl benzene rings and macroheterocycles.
