1,3-Di-1-adamantylimidazolium (phthalocyaninato)lithium(I) acetone hemisolvate monohydrate

D. A. Grossie, W. A. Feld and J. Kelley

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C₂₃H₃₃N₂)[Li(C₃₂H₁₆N₈)]·0.5C₃H₆O·H₂O, consists of two symmetry-unrelated lithium phthalocyanine (LiPc^-) half-anions, centered at (1,0,0) and (0, ${\\script{1\\over 2}}$ ,0), respectively, the bis(adamantyl)imidazolium cation (BAI⁺), occupying a general site, an acetone molecule, disordered about the inversion centre at (0, ${\\script{1\\over 2}}$ , ${\\script{1\\over 2}}$ ) and a water molecule at a general site. The LiPc^- anions pack in a stepped pattern enclosing the bis(adamantyl)imidazolium cation. Attractions between the anion and cation are mediated by a water molecule which forms O-HN hydrogen bonds. In addition, two C-HO interactions are seen.
