New inorganic dye crown ethers 1, 2, were synthesized. fac-[N-(4`-benzo-crown ethers)-2-pyridineimine]Re(CO)₃Cl 1, 2 were obitained from the reaction of N-(4`-benzo-crown ethers)-2-pyridineimine 3, 4 and Re(CO)_5Cl. 3, 4 were made by reaction of 4`-aminobenzo-crown ethers and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde, respectively.
