摘要:
Two crystalline host-guest complexes are synthesized and studied using X-ray diffraction analysis: (18-crown-6) sodium tribromide [Na(18-crown-6)](+) center dot Br-3(-)(I) and (18-crown- 6) potassium tribromide ( with an admixture of bromodiiodide) [K(18-crown-6)](+) center dot (Br0.25I2.75)(-) (II). The structures of compound I ( space group P2(1)/n, a = 8.957 angstrom, b = 8.288 angstrom, c = 14.054 angstrom, beta = 104.80 degrees, Z = 2) and compound II (space group Cc, a = 8.417 angstrom, b = 15.147 angstrom, c = 17.445 angstrom, beta = 99.01 degrees, Z = 4) are solved by a direct method and refined by the full-matrix least-squares method in the anisotropic approximation to R = 0.098 (I) and 0.036 (II) for all 2311 (I) and 2678 ( I) independent measured reflections on a CAD-4 automated diffractometer (lambda MoK alpha). Similar crystalline complexes I and II exist as infinite chains of alternating complex cations and trihalide anions linked to each other through weak Na-Br or K-I coordination bonds. In [Na(18-crown-6)](+) and [K(18-crown-6)](+) complex cations, the Na+ or K+ cation ( coordination number is eight) is located in the center of the cavity of the 18-crown-6 ligand and coordinated by the six O atoms and two terminal Br or I atoms of two trihalide anions lying on opposite sides of the rms plane of the crown ligand.
