A molecular mechanics study of cyclophosphazenic polypodands and of glymes, of their complexes with ion pairs (IPs) M + I − (M + = Li + , Na + , K + , Rb + ) and IP aggregates (M + I − ) n was carried out to investigate the catalytic activity of these ligands in solid–liquid phase‐transfer reaction. This activity is explained by their ability to bind IP aggregates effectively and to activate the anion by increasing the interionic distance in the single IP.
