X-Ray crystal and molecular structure of the complex between dibenzo-14-crown-4 and LiSCN
Abstract
The crystal structure of the title compound shows that in the complex the Li+ cation is penta-co-ordinated to the 4 ethereal oxygens and to the N of the SCN– anion, in a nearly square pyramidal geometry where Li is 0.79 Å out of the plane of the oxygens; the average Li–O distance is 2.04 Å and Li–N is 1.96 Å.
