15-Crown-5 is a crown ether with the formula C10H20O5. It is a cyclic pentamer of ethylene oxide that has been shown to complex with various cations, including sodium (Na+)[2] and potassium (K+),[3] however, it is complementary to Na+ and thus has a higher selectivity for Na+ ions.

Analogous to 18-crown-6, 15-crown-5 can bind to sodium ions, making the ionic compounds soluble in hydrophobic phases.
However, 15-crown-5 allows the first-row transition metal cations to fit snugly inside the cavity of 15-crown-5, which is too small to be included in 18-crown-6. The binding of transition metal cations results in multiple hydrogen-bonded interactions from both equatorial and axial aqua ligands, such that highly crystalline solid-state supramolecular polymers were isolated. Metal salts isolated in this form includes Co(ClO4)2, Ni(ClO4)2, Cu(ClO4)2 and Zn(ClO4)2. Seven coordinate species are most common for transition metal ions complexes of 15-crown-5, with the crown ether occupying the equatorial plane, along with 2 axial aqua ligands. [4]
15-crown-5 have also been used to isolate some specific, intriguing oxonium ions. For example, from a solution of tetrachloroauric acid, the oxonium ion [H7O3]+ have been isolated as the salt [(H7O3)(15-crown-5)2][AuCl4]. Neutron diffraction studies revealed a sandwich structure, which shows a chain of water with remarkably long O-H bond (1.12 Å) in the acidic proton, but with a very short OH•••O distance (1.32 Å).[4]
A derivative of 15-crown-5, benzo-15-crown-5, have been used to produce carbide complexes. The first step of this method is to synthesize a acetylide complex from the corresponding metal carbonyl, followed by abstracting the acidic proton in the acetylide with a strong base. Benzo-15-crown-6 is then applied to sequester the K+ counter ions to give the free carbide complex.[4]
As a functional group, research has been conducted to probe its application in liquid crystalline studies,[5] ion-selective membranes,[6] chromo- and fluoroionophores.[7]
