The title 22-crown-6 unit, C26H28O6, comprising of three benzo groups and triethyl­ene glycol, was prepared by the reaction of α,α′-dibromo-p-xylene with 1,8-bis­(2-hydroxy­phen­oxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane in the presence of Cs2CO3 with tetra­hydro­furan (THF) and recrystallized from dichloro­methane–hexane (1:20 v/v) at room temperature. In the mol­ecular structure, two O atoms of the central ethyl­ene glycol in the triethyl­ene glycol unit exhibit exo conformations due to intra­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions. A number of C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­molecular inter­actions contribute to the stabilization of the crystal packing

The title 20-crown-6 unit, C28H30Br2O6·CH2Cl2, consisting of three benzo groups and triethyl­ene glycol was prepared from the reaction of 1,2,4,5-tetra­kis­(bromo­meth­yl)benzene and bis­phenol in the presence of sodium hydride. In the crystal, one O atom of the central ethyl­ene glycol in the triethyl­ene glycol unit exhibits an exo conformation as a result of intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crown unit and the solvent mol­ecule are linked by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
