For the cis–anti–cis isomer of dicyclohexano-13-crown-4 ether, disorder has been detected in the crystal structure, with two conformations being present in the ratio of ca. 3:2. Crystal structures for two Li+ complexes of the cis–syn–cis isomer have also been determined. Representative 13C solid phase NMR spectra are presented and discussed for these systems and the related dibenzo substituted compounds. Keywords: crown ethers, solids, NMR, conformation.
