Synthesen und Kristallstrukturen der Kronenether-Komplexe (18-Krone-6) · 2CH3CN, [Na-15-Krone-5][ReO4] · CH3CN und [Na-15-Krone-5]PF6 / Syntheses and Crystal Structures of the Crown Ether Complexes (18-Crown-6) · 2 CH3CN, [Na-15-Crown-5][ReO4] · CH3CN, an

Single crystals of (18-crown-6) · 2 CH3CN were obtained by cooling a solution of 18-crown-6 in acetonitrile to 4 °C. Space group P21/n, Z = 2, 629 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.062. Lattice dimensions at 19°C: a = 911.7(1), b = 852.0(1), c = 1370.0(2) pm; β = 104.61(1)°. The compound forms a molecular structure with approximate D3d symmetry of the crown ether molecule, and C—H ··· O interactions of the acetonitrile molecules with the crown ether, the Η···Ο distances being 243, 253, and 267 pm, respectively. [Na-15-crown-5][ReO4] · CH3CN is formed as a by-product of the reaction of ReNCl4 with sodium fluoride in acetonitrile in the presence of 15-crown-5 and traces of water. Space group Ρ 1̄ , Ζ = 2, 3107 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.045. Lattice dimensions at 19°C: a = 823.4(1), b = 1078.8(1), c = 1204.0(1) pm; α = 112.40(1)°, β = 94.35(1)°, γ = 104.63(1)°. The compound forms ion pairs, in which the sodium atom is sixfold coordinated by the five oxygen atoms of the crown ether molecule, as well as by one oxygen atom of the ReO4- ion, which is only slightly distorted. The bond length Na—OReO3 is 237.8(8) pm, the bond angle NaORe is 164.3(5)°. [Na-15-crown-5]PF6 is formed in the reaction of [ReCl3(NSCl)2 · POC13] with sodium fluoride in acetonitrile solution in the presence of 15-crown-5. Space group Pna21, Ζ = 4, 1130 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.123. The high R value is due to disorder of the skeletal atoms of the crown ether molecule. The compound forms ion pairs, in which the sodium atom is sevenfold coordinated by the five oxygen atoms of the crown ether molecule, as well as by two fluorine atoms of the PF6 - ion with Na—F bond lengths of 240(2), and 246(2) pm, respectively.
