The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C12H28N2O4)[AuCl4]2·2H2O, contains one half-cation, one anion and one water molecule; the cation is centrosymmetric. The Au ion has a square-planar coordination. In the crystal structure, intramolecular N-H
O and O-H
O, and intermolecular N-H
O, O-H
Cl and N-H
Cl hydrogen bonds link the ions and water molecules, forming a supramolecular structure.
For the preparation of the title compound, (I), a solution of 1,10-diaza-18 -crown-6 (0.10 g, 0.37 mmol) in EtOH (20 ml) was added to a solution of HAuCl4.3H2O, (0.29 g, 0.74 mmol) in water (30 ml) and the resulting yellow solution was stirred for 10 min at 313 K. Then, it was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After one week, yellow prismatic crystals of (I) were isolated (yield; 0.26 g; 72.0%).
H atoms (for H2O) were located in a difference syntheses and refined [O-H = 0.71 (6) and 0.76 (6) Å; Uiso(H) = 0.019 (15) and 0.034 (17) Å2]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically, with N-H = 0.90 Å (for NH2) and C-H = 0.97 Å for methylene H and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

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 > 2sigma(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. |

Recently, we reported the synthesis and crystal structure of the [(H2DA18C6)Cl2], (II), (Yousefi, Amani & Khavasi, 2007) and [(H2DA18C6)][PtCl6].2H2O, (III), (Yousefi, Teimouri et al., 2007) [where H2DA18C6 is 1,10-Diazonia-18-crown-6]. Several proton transfer systems using 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6, with proton donor molecules, such as [(H2DA18C6)I2.2H2O], (IV), (Chekhlov, 2005), [(H2DA18C6)(C2HO4)2], (V), and [(H2DA18C6)2(C2O4)2.2H2O], (VI), (Chekhlov, 2000), [(H2DA18C6)(picrate)2], (VII), (Chekhlov, 2001), [(H2DA18C6)(HPTD)2], (VIII), (Simonov et al., 2003), [(H2DA18C6)(PD)2.(H2O)4], (IX), and [(H2DA18C6)(PS)2.(H2O)2], (X), (Fonari et al., 2004), [(H2DA18C6)(CCl3COO)2(CCl3COOH)2], (XI), (Chekhlov et al., 1994), [(H2DA18C6)(CCl3COO)2], (XII), (Chekhlov & Martynov, 1998), and {[H2DA18C6][(ArSO2)2N]2}, (XIII), (Moers et al., 2000) [where C2O4 is oxalate, HPTD is (4Z,5E)-pyrimidine-2,4,5,6(1H,3H) -tetraone 4,5-dioxime anion, PD is 2-(2-methylphenyl)-2H-[1,2,3]- triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-5,7(4H,6H)-dione 3-oxide anion, PS is 6-amino-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-ylsulfamate and (ArSO2)2N is bis(4-chlorobenzenesulfonyl)imide] have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods.
There are also several proton transfer systems using HAuCl4 with proton acceptor molecules, such as [EMI][AuCl4] (XIV) and [BMI]2[AuCl4].2H2O, (XV), (Hasan et al., 1999), [H2bipy][AuCl4][Cl], (XVI), (Zhang et al., 2006), [H7O3][15-crown-5][AuCl4], (XVII) and [H5O2][benzo-15-crown-5] 2[AuCl4], (XVIII), (Johnson & Steed, 1998), [H5O2]2[12-crown-4]2 [AuCl4]2, (XIX), [H3O][18-crown-6][AuCl4], (XX) and [H3O] [4-nitrobenzo-18-crown-6][AuCl4], (XXI), (Calleja et al., 2001) and [DPpy.H][AuCl4], (XXII), (Yap et al., 1995) [where EMI is 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, BMI is 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, H2bipy is 2,2'-bipyridinium and DPpy.H is 2,6-Diphenylpyridinium] have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
The asymmetric unit of (I), (Fig. 1) contains one half-cation, one anion and one water molecule; the cation is centrosymmetric. The Au ion has a square-planar coordination (Table 1). The bond lengths and angles, in cation, are in good agreement with the corresponding values in (II), (III) and (IV). Also, the Au-Cl bond lengths and angles (Table 1) are within normal range [XXII].
In the crystal structure, intramolecular N-H···O and O-H···O and intermolecular N-H···O, O-H···Cl and N-H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 2) link the molecules to form a supramolecular structure (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
