Synthesis and characterization of a family of solvated sodium aryloxide compounds

A family of ([(solv)xNa(OR)]n) was synthesized from the reaction of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide with a series of sterically varied aryl alcohols (H-OAr) and structurally characterized. The central cores of these compounds ranged from unique monomers, squares, cubes, fused-cubes, and hexagons.
