✦ Synopsis

Silicon polypodands 5-7 are found to be powerful complexing agents of alkali metal salts in low polarity solvents and very efficient catalysts in anion-promoted reactions under solid-liquid PTC conditions. The catalytic activity is comparable with that of the cyclic polyether PHDB18C6 8.
