The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The title compound, [K(C12H24O6)(C 4H8O)2]I, has iodide anions on crystallographic twofold rotation axes and cations in general positions. The coordination of potassium is distorted hexagonal bipyramidal, with an 18-crown-6 ligand as an equatorial belt and two axial tetrahydrofuran ligands. Distortion is marked, consisting mainly of a significant bending of the axial arrangement [O - K - O = 148.53 (13)°] and a shortening of the two equatorial K - O bonds closest to the axial O atoms. This conformation is unprecedented in the previous reports of this cation, with almost thirty different occurrences in nearly twenty crystal structures. © 2003 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.
