25. 2 were reported with the germanium center coordinated to the periphery of the macrocycle. See F. Cheng, A. L. Hector, W. Levason, G. Reid, M. Webster, W. Zhang, Chem. Commun. 2008, 5508.

28. 2 moieties linked together by dioxane, forming a ID coordination polymer. See

31. All compounds were characterized by NMR and Raman spectroscopy, elemental analysis, ESI-MS, and single crystal Xray diffraction. See the Supporting Information for details.
32. The [12]crown-4 moiety showed disorder but was successfully modeled as a superposition of two molecules. Only one of the superpositions is discussed.

34. 2dioxane is 2.399(1) Å. See reference [20].
35. 2 has been reported previously but was not structurally characterized. See M. H. Castany, H. Lavayssière, G. Dousse, Synth. React. Inorg. Met-Org. Chem. 1998, 25, 781.
36. 2 with [18]crown-6. See reference [16a].
37. Four cation-anion pairs are found in the asymmetric unit, all with very similar metrical parameters; therefore, only one ion pair is discussed.

39. Our supposition is supported by the observation that the analogue of 7 containing the larger tin atom separates into [SnOTf([18]crown-6)][OTf] ions in a similar manner to 3 (see the Supporting Information).
