In the title compound, C8H14N3+·BF4−·H2O, the cation, anion and water molecule all lie on mirror planes. The BF4− anion is disordered over two orientations with occupancies refined to 0.57 (2) and 0.43 (2). The water mol­ecule is linked to the cation via an O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. Weak inter­molecular O—H⋯F, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds consolidate the crystal packing.

Comment top

1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) is used as an excellent organocatalyst for a variety of reactions because of the nucleophilicity (Basaviah et al., 2003), which can even go through substitution with relatively unreactive electrophiles such as dichloromethane (Almarzoqi et al., 1986). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, [C8H14N3]+.BF4-.H2O (I), which was obtained by the solution evaporation method.

The reaction of Bromoacetonitrile and DABCO proceeds quickly in CH3CN, leading to the immediate precipitation of 1-(cyanomethyl)-4-aza-1-azonia-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromide.

The stucture of the title compound, (I), is shown in Fig. 1. All bond lengths and angles in (I) are normal and comparable with those observed in the related compound (Batsanov et al., 2005). In the crystal struture of the title compound, all moieties are situated on mirror planes and the F atoms of the BF4- anion are disordered. Lattice water molecule is paired with the cation by O—H···N hydrogen bond (Table 1). The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds of C—H···O, C—H···F and O—H···F (Table 1).

Experimental top

Bromoacetonitrile (0.1 mol, 12.00 g) and 1,4-diaza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane (0.05 mol, 5.6 g) were dissolved in CH3CN(40 ml) with stirring for 1 hour at room temperature. The white product formed was 1-(cyanomethyl)-4-aza-1-azonia-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromide which was filtered, washed with acetonitrile and dried with 80% yield. A mixture of 1-(cyanomethyl)-4-aza-1-azonia-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromide (0.01 mol 2.32 g) and tetrafluoro-borate sodium (0.01 mol 1.10 g) in H2O (20 ml) was stirred until clear. After slow evaporation, colourless plate crystals of the title compand suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained with about 60% yield.

The powder-pressed pellets of compound 1 were used in temperature-dependent dielectric measurements because of the difficulty in obtaining large crystals. There is no dielectric anomaly observed between 93 K and 353 K. So there may no structural phase transitions between this temperature range.

Refinement top

C-bound H atoms were geometrically positioned with C—H = 0.96 Å. O-bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and then placed in idealized positions with O—H = 0.85 Å. All H atoms were refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2-1.5 Ueq(C, O).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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.
