Crystals of 3,5,9,11-tetraacetyl-14-oxo-1,3,5,7,9,11-hexaazapentacyclo[5.5.3.02,6.04,10 .08,12]pentadecane, a new hexaazaisowurtzitane derivative, were obtained from a condensation reaction of 2,6,8,12-tetraacetyl-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazatetracyclo[5.5.0.05,9.03,11] dodecane with aqueous formaldehyde and subsequent crystallization of the product from aqueous acetone. X-ray diffraction analysis at room temperature indicates that the compound crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 9.4564(15), b = 14.184(2), c = 13.334(2) Å, β = 107.671(4)°, V = 1704.1(5) Å3, Z = 4, D calc = 1.475 g/cm3, F(000) = 800, μ(MoK) = 0.112 mm−1, and final R 1 = 0.0505, wR 2 = 0.1215 for observed reflections 2641 (I > 2σ(I)). The ether link (C–O–C) forms two heptacyclic rings with the N, C atoms in the cage respectively. The results of elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy are included.
