Tetraaqualithium(I) bis(tropolonato-[kappa]2O,O')lithate(I)

G. Steyl

Abstract top

The title salt, [Li(H2O)4][Li(C7H5O2)2], which was synthesized by reacting equimolar quantities of lithium hydroxide and tropolone in water, consists of a hydrated lithium cation whose charge is balanced by a ditropolonatolithate. Both Li atoms exist in a tetrahedral geometry (the cation and anion lie on different sites of 222 symmetry). Hydrogen bonds link the cation and anion into a layer structure; [pi]-[pi] stacking [centroid-centroid distance 3.313 (2) Å] is observed with the tropolonate rings, the stacking allowing the formation of channels that facilitate the packing of the cations within them.

Comment top

The title compound, (I), is a novel example of a diketonato and lithium atom complex. To date very little data exist with lithium cation interactions with α- or β-diketones (Filatov et al., 2006; Gonçalves et al., 1996; Teixidor et al., 1985). The title compound is particularly interesting since the expected 1:1 ratio of an anion to cation as observed for the sodium derivative (Shiono, 1961) has been disrupted. This effect might be due to the smaller ionic radius of the lithium ion. The Li···O bond distances in both the independent units are nearly similar, with the Li···O(H2) and Li···O(trop), 1.9356 (12) and 1.9278 (12) Å, respectively.

The cationic and anionic parts of the title compound are linked together through O—H···O hydrogen bonds, see Table 2. The effect of this hydrogen bond in ordering the solid state can be observed as sheets perpendicular to the c axis, Figure 2. The tropolonato moieties form π-π stacking units (3.313 (2) Å) in the solid state creating channels in which the solvated lithium cations can pack.

Related literature top

Diketonato–lithium compounds have only one diketonate group for each lithium. See, for example: Filatov et al. (2006); Gonçalves et al. (1996); Teixidor et al. (1985); Shiono (1961).

Experimental top

The title compound was obtained by mixing Tropolone (100 mg, 0.8 mmol) and LiOH (19 mg, 0.8 mmol) in 10 ml of water. The solution was stored at 4 ° C for 2 weeks, during which crystals grew suitable for X-ray crystallography. (Yield: 132 mg, 50%) NMR data: 1H 6.83 (t, 9 Hz); 7.06 (d, 11 Hz); 7.31 (t, 11 Hz); 7Li 0.344 (s).

Refinement top

H atoms bonded to O atoms were located in a difference map and refined with distance restraints of O—H = 0.84 (2) Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O). Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.95 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 times Ueq(C).

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. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
