Despite the different sizes of the metal ions , torand 1 retains its staggered conformation in the complexes 1 · K + (picrate − ) and 1 · Rb + (picrate − ), as established by X‐ray structure determinations. In contrast, other macrocyclic ligands usually adjust their conformation according to the bonding demands of the metal ions. The exceptionally rigid cavity of 1 constructed from condensed ring systems is responsible for this behavior.
