The 14H30N2O42+·2PF6−, contains the anion and half of the cation, the latter being completed by a crystallographic twofold axis. The cation has a cage structure with the ammonium H atoms pointing into the cage. These H atoms are shielded from intermolecular interactions and form only intramolecular contacts. There are short intermolecular C—H⋯F interactions in the structure, but no conventional intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and were used without further purification. Reactions were carried out under inert conditions by Schlenk-line techniques. The metal chloride (WCl6, 100 mg, 0.25 mmol) was allowed to stir for a minute in 10 ml toluene and then was reacted with a small excess of of AgPF6 (381 mg, 1.51 mmol) to give AgCl as a precipitate and W(PF6)6 dissolved in solution. After 30 minutes stirring, the precipitate was allowed to settle. The solution was transferred under inert conditions by cannula technique and treated with the solution of [2.1.1]cryptand (66 µl, 0.25 mmol) in 5 ml toluene for 30 minutes. The crude reaction product was obtained as dirty yellow mass after drying the solvent and it was found to be soluble in methanol. Portions of the product were recrystallized from methanol, which produced crystal (I).
Hydrogen Uiso's were set at 1.2 times the Ueq of the heavy atom to which the hydrogen was attached and refined in riding mode. C—H distances were fixed at 0.97 Å and the N—H distance at 0.91 Å.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

Compound (I) was obtained unintentionally as the product of the attempted synthesis of a metal-encrypted tungsten(VI) complex with the [2.1.1]cryptand, 4,7,13,18-tetraoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8.5.5]icosane. We suspect that WCl6, being susceptable to hydrolysis, reacted with water that was present as a contaminant. Compound (I) was obtained by recrystallisation of the crude reaction product from methanol. When the same product was recrystalised from acetone, a similar diprotonated cryptand salt with SiF62- as the anion formed (Sen Gupta et al., 2011). The solvent used for recystallization was the only difference between the methods to obtain the two different crystals. The presence of both anions in the reaction product was confirmed by 19F NMR data (Macchioni et al., 2001; Christe & Wilson, 1990).
In the crystal of compound (I), the two ammonium hydrogen atoms of the diprotonated cryptand cage are pointing inwards. Cryptands are known to form proton crypts, in which the protons are very efficiently concealed inside a tight molecular cavity. No exception is observed here: the ammonium hydrogen atoms are not involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonding. They only form intramolecular contacts with the oxygen atoms of the cryptand.
