In the crystal structure of the title compound, C9H20N+·C6Cl5S-, two cation-anion pairs are linked by N-H
S hydrogen bonds to produce a cyclic aggregate of R42(8) type. The dimers are interconnected via
-
stacking [centroid-centroid distance = 3.851(2) Å] and weak C-H
Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions.
All manipulations were carried out under an atmosphere of nitrogen using standard Schlenk techniques. The solvents were purified and dried by standard methods (Perrin & Armarego, 1988).
C6Cl5SH (0.570 g, 2 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofurane (ca 10 ml). Traces of impurities were removed by filtration under an argon atmosphere. Next, a portion of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (0338 ml, 2 mmol) was added at room temperature. The color of the mixture changed to dark red. Slow crystallization from THF at 5° C yielded yellow crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction.

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. |

The crystal structure of the title compound shows an asymmetric unit consisting of one pentachlorobenzenethiolate anion and one 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinium cation. The ammonium thiolate forms a dimer [C6Cl5S(-) H2N(+)C5H6Me4]2 (Fig. 1) in which four charge-assisted (+)N—H···S(-) hydrogen bonds form a stable core. This pattern of an eight-membered ring system with four donors and two acceptors is known as R42(8), using Etter's graph set analysis (Etter, 1990; Bernstein et al., 1995). In the crystal the dimers pack as seperate units bound together by van der Waals forces and weak C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2). Similar (thiol-amine)2 ring formation has been observed in other ammonium salts (Baranowska et al., 2008; Baranowska, 2007; Baranowska, Chojnacki, Konitz et al., 2006; Baranowska, Chojnacki, Gosiewska & Wojnowski, 2006). The dimers are interconnected via π–π stacking interactions between Cg1 and Cg2, where Cg1 is the centroid of the C1–C6 ring and Cg2 is the centroid of the C1–C6 ring at (1-x, -y, -z). The centroid-to-centroid (CC) distance is 3.851 (2) Å and the angle subtended by the plane normal to CC is 25.03°. Interactions of the C—H···Cl type are weak with the shortest H···Cl distance measuring to 2.86 Å.
The N···S distances lie in the range 3.226 (2)–3.301 (2) Å and are therefore comparable with values observed in zinc and cobalt silanethiolates complexes (Dołęga et al., 2008; Pladzyk & Baranowska, 2007) or aromatic thiolates (Baranowska, 2007; Baranowska et al. 2003).
