In the title compound, Na+·4C7H5N6+·5BF4, the Na+ ion lies on a fourfold rotation axis and one of the tetra­fluoridoborate ions lies on a site of symmetry [\overline{4}]. Each Na+ ion is surrounded by four symmetry-related tetra­fluoridoborate ions, and is eight-coordinated by F atoms, the Na⋯F separation being 2.3956 (15) or 2.4347 (17) Å. The hexa­azaphenalenium ring system is essentially planar. In the crystal structure, the cations and anions are linked into a three-dimensional network by N—H⋯N and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

Phenalenyl, as a planar π system with D3h symmetry, has received much attention and still played an important role as a building block for spin-mediated molecular functional materials (Haddon 1975; Koutentis et al., 2001; Goto et al., 1999). Hexaazaphenalene (HAP) is a highly symmetric heterocycle with full nitrogen substitution in all of the α sites of phenalene (Morita et al., 2002; Morita et al., 2003; Suzuki et al., 2005; Tamaki et al., 1997; Zheng et al., 2003; Zheng et al., 2005). Because of the directionality of lone-pair electrons at the nitrogen sites, incorporation of nitrogen atoms into the phenalenyl skeleton was found to give substantial effects on its electronic structure. Suzuki et al. have reported the preparation and single cystal structure of the anion of hexaazaphenalene. Herein, we report the preparation and crystal structure of a hexaazaphenalene fluoroboric salt, the title compound.

In the title compound, the Na+ ion lies on a four-fold rotation axis and one of the tetrafluoridoborate ions lies on a 4 site symmetry. One of the remaining four BF4- ions and one of the four hexaazaphenalenium ions are symmetry independent, and they lie on general positions. Each Na+ ion is surrounded by four symmetry related tetrafluoridoborate ions, with the Na···F separation being 2.3956 (15) or 2.4347 (17) Å (Fig.1). The hexaazaphenalenium ring system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.042 (2) Å for atom N6. The C—N distances lie in the range 1.310 (3)-1.363 (3) Å.

Two types of hydrogen bonds viz. N—H···N and C—H···F exist in the solid state of the title compound. These hydrogen bonds link the cationic and anionic units into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2). There are no face to face π-π staking involving the hexaazaphenalenium units, which is a common packing mode in other phenalene compounds.

It would be much more useful to readers if the "Related literature" section had some kind of simple sub-division, so that, instead of just "For related literature, see···" it said, for example, "For general background, see···. For related structures, see···.? etc. Please revise this section as indicated.

Experimental top

The sodium salt of hexaazaphenalene was prepared according to the literature method (Suzuki et al., 2005). To a water (5 ml) solution of sodium salt of hexaazaphenalene (97 mg, 0.5 mmol) was added 40% HBF4 (0.5 ml, 3.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was evaporated slowly for 7 d to afford colourless crystals of the title compound.

Refinement top

H atoms were initially located in difference maps and then refined using the riding-model approximation, with C-H = 0.95 Å, N-H = 0.88 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,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.
