Abstract
New mixed complex compound bis(dibenzo-18-crown-6)(tetrachlorocuprato(II)-Cl, Cl′, Cl″, Cl‴) dipotassium diaqua(dibenzo-18-crown-6)potassium dichlorocuprate(I)dibenzo-18-crown-6 [(CuCl4)[K(Db18C6)]2]·[K(Db18C6)(H2O)2]+·[CuCl2]−·Db18C6 was prepared and its structure was studied by the X-ray structural analysis. The structure was found to be disordered. The asymmetric part of its unit cell contains 1/4 of each of its four components. For a given [CuCl4]2− anion its Cu2+ cation is disordered over two equally probable positions and its independent Cl atom is disordered over three positions differing by occupancy. In this structure two [K(Db18C6)]+ fragment of the complex molecule and the complex cation [K(Db18C6)(H2O)2]+ are of guest-host type with K+ cation as the guest. In this structure the statistically disordered alternating cations and Db18C6 molecules form infinite chains. The statistically disordered [CuCl2]− anions also form infinite chains.
