Abstract

The inclusion compound built of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide-thiourea (1/2), [(n-C4H9)4N+Br− ⋅2(NH2)2CS], has been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystalline in orthorhombic space group Pbca, with a = 16.872(6) Å, b = 17.214(6) Å, c = 18.561(6) Å, V = 5390(3) Å3, Z = 8. The compound features a sandwich-like crystal structure built up from planar layers. In the crystal structure, zigzag hydrogen-bonded thiourea ribbons are linked by bromide anions to generate puckered layers matching the (100) planes, and the (n-C4H9)4N+ cations occupy the intervening space.
