Three [18]crown‐6 ligands and two sodium ions surprisingly form a triple‐decker sandwich dication, pictured schematically on the right. Due to sixfold O‐coordination of each sodium ion to the outer crown ethers, but only two Na + ċ O contacts each to the central ligand, the outer macrocyclic rings are distorted to a hemispherical conformation, whereas the central ring adopts a rectangular shape.
