Positively charged methylamine-substituted 15-crown[5] co-crystallizes with one chloride counter-anion and two water molecules, C11H24NO5+·Cl-·2H2O. A supramolecular array of crown ether dimers, linked via water-chloride clusters, is formed.

The title compound crystallized as a result of an attempted reaction between
2-aminomethyl-15-crown[5] and N3P3Cl6 in tetrahydrofuran solvent.
All H atoms approximate isotropic behaviour. The H atoms on the crown ether were
placed in idealized positions with their displacement parameters riding on the
value of the parent atom, whilst the water H atoms were experimentally located
and allowed to freely refine.

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s.

The title compound, (I), was the sole crystalline product from an attempted substitution reaction on hexachlorotriphosphazatriene by 2-aminomethyl-15-crown[5] and is shown to be (Fig. 1) the protonated crown ether complexed with a chloride anion and two waters of crystallization.
The bond lengths and angles conform to standard values as observed in the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen & Kennard, 1993). A search of the CSD revealed there to be no such similar monosubstituted 15-crown[5] structures.
The macrocycle adopts a conformation such that the maximum deviation from the mean ring plane is 0.928 (6) Å, with the amine (N1) situated 1.92 (3) Å above this plane. The average cross-ring O···O separation is 2.840 (5) Å, which is of a similar order of magnitudte to that of 2.793 (6) and 2.805 (5) Å of uncoordinated 15-crown[5] found in the CSD (CSD refcodes CIGSAM and DUCNEU, respectively).
Interestingly, the water molecules and chloride ion are not complexed by the crown ether, however an extensive supramolecular array is formed by means of numerous hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2). These intermolecular interactions are detailed in Table 2. The crown ethers associate solely with each other, forming dimers linked by a methylene–oxygen and two amine–oxygen interactions. These dimers are connected together, to form a three-dimensional structure, via clusters of water molecules hydrogen bonded to chloride anions. A total of three water molecules are coordinated by two chloride ions. Each chloride is involved in the formation of four hydrogen bonds (three to H2O and one to the ether). The water molecule of O6 in participates in three, and that of O7 in two, classicalhydrogenH-bonding interactions.
