Figure 2
The structure of (III), showing the atom-numbering scheme, with displacement ellipsoids drawn at the 50% probability level. The cation and anion form a contact ion pair, and both are located on independent crystallographic inversion centers. The symmetry-equivalent portion of the cation is generated by the operation (−x, −y + 1, −z + 1), and that of the anion is generated by the operation (−x + 1, −y + 1, −z + 2). The K atom is on an inversion center and the Ti atom is half-occupancy because it is disordered over its proximal center, and only one position is displayed. Dashed lines denote primarily electrostatic interactions between potassium and 18-crown-6 or pyrene. |
