Z. Olejnik et al., THE CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF (DIBENZO-18-CROWN-6) POTASSIUM TETRACHLOROFERRATE(III), Polish Journal of Chemistry, 67(10), 1993, pp. 1821-1830
The Little compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group, P1BAR a
, with four crystalographically independent [(dibenzo-18-crown-6) K+]
units. The independent crown ether molecules are very similar each to
other. The potassium ions are displaced from the mean planes of the et
her oxygen donors by 0.358(3) to 0.450(3) angstrom. The crystal struct
ure consists of two different chains of the alternating complex cation
s and tetrahedral FeCl4- anions.
