Al. Llamassaiz et al., THE RELATIVE BASICITIES OF TRIS(PYRAZOL-1-YL)-1,3,5-TRIAZINE (TPT), WATER AND THE PICRATE ANION IN THE SOLID-STATE, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 51, 1995, pp. 1401-1404
In the solid state, the picrate of tris(pyrazol-1-yl)1,3,5-triazine (T
PT) containing water and chloroform, exists as an oxonium picrate solv
ated by TPT and chloroform, H3O+.C6H2N3O7-.C12H9N9.CHCl3. The compound
shows the shortest H3O+... O- distance ever reported. All H atoms of
the oxonium cation are involved in strong hydrogen bonds joining the T
PT molecule and the picrate anion. The TPT molecule mimics the crown e
thers in stabilizing the H3O+ cation.
