The low-temperature phase of morpholinium tetrafluoroborate

M. Owczarek, P. Szklarz, R. Jakubas and T. Lis

Abstract top

The crystal structure of the low-temperature form of the title compound, C4H10NO+·BF4-, was determined at 80 K. Two reversible phase transitions, at 158/158 and 124/126 K (heating/cooling), were detected by differential scanning calorimetry for this compound, and the sequence of phase transitions was subsequently confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. The asymmetric unit at 80 K consists of three BF4- tetrahedral anions and three morpholinium cations (Z' = 3). Hydrogen-bonded morpholinium cations form chains along the [100] direction. The BF4- anions are connected to these chains by N-H...F hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure, two different layers perpendicular to the [001] direction can be distinguished, which differ in the geometry of the hydrogen bonds between cationic and anionic species.

Comment top

The morpholinium tetrafluoroborate (I) undergoes two reversible phase transitions at 158/158 K and 124/126 K (heating/cooling). At the room temperature it crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with Z'=1. The intermediate phase appeared to be incommensurately modulated. The structure of (I) in the low-temperature phase contains ordered BF4- tetrahedral units and morpholinium cations in the chair conformation. The bond distances and angles in the BF4- anions and morpholinium cations are in agreement with the expected values. The N–H morpholinium protons are involved in the hydrogen bonds N–H···O (morpholine-morpholine zigzag chains) and N—H···F with BF4- anions. The tetrahedral BF4- anions occupy voids between morpholinium chains.

The title compound I appeared to be isostructural with morpholinium chlorate(VII) at 100 K (Grigoriev et al., 2008). Both structures are characterized by two independent hydrogen bonded layers and only slight differences in geometry of hydrogen bonds between morpholinium and anionic species are observed.

The room-temperature phase of I is isostructural with the morpholinium hydrogensulfate (Yin et al., 2006). The tetrafluoroborate anions appear to be dynamically disordered in this phase. During the phase transition from modulated to the low temperature phase at 124 K threefold increase of the lattice parameter b is observed.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by reaction of stoichiometric amounts of morpholine and concentrated tetrafluoroboric acid in water. The resulting solid was recrystallized from methanol at room temperature. The crystal for X-ray measurements was slowly cooled from room temperature to 80 K. During cooling, the crystal undergoes phase transition from centrosymmetric (Pnma), through modulated phase, to the non-centrosymmetric P212121 space group.

Refinement top

In the absence of signifiant anomalous scattering effects, Friedel pairs were averaged. All H atoms were found in difference-Fourier maps. In the final refinement, all H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with C–H distances of 0.99 Å and N–H distances of 0.92 Å, and with Uiso(H) values of 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.2Ueq(N).

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.
