The structure of the title salt, C13H20N3O+·0.94ClO4−·0.06Cl−, contains a zwitterionic Schiff base with a net positive charge and a perchlorate anion having substitutional disorder with Cl. In the cation, the azomethine N atom is protonated and donates hydrogen bonds to the phenolate O atom and to the tertiary N atom of the piperazine ring. In the crystal, two Schiff base molecules are linked about a center of inversion by a pair of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The resulting dimers are N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonded to the perchlorate anions, forming a three-dimensional structure. The network is further consolidated by C—H⋯π interactions.

A mixture of salicylaldehyde (0.24 g, 2 mmol) and 4-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine (0.26 g, 2 mmol) in ethanol was refluxed for 2 h. Bu2SnCl2 (0.6 g, 2 mmol) was then added and reflux was continued for another 2 h. The solution was cooled to room temperature and NaClO4 (0.14 g, 1 mmol) was added to the mixture. The precipitaed NaCl was separated out and the filtrate was evaporated under vacumm. The residue was dissolved in dicloromethane and left at room temperature for a day whereupon the brown crystals of the title compound were formed.
The C-bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions and were treated as riding on their parent C atoms with H—Csp2 = 0.95 Å and H—Cmethylene = 0.99 Å. The N-bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map. For all H atoms, Uiso(H) was set to 1.2Ueq(carrier atom). An ISOR restraint (Sheldrick, 2008) was applied to a perchlorate oxygen atom, O3.

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 Schiff base, 1-(2-salicylaldiminoethyl)piperazine, has been shown to exhibit different ligation behavior towards metal ions, mainly depending on the conformation adopted by the piperazine ring (Mukhopadhyay et al., 2003; Saleh Salga et al., 2010). In an attempt to prepare a tin(IV) complex of the Schiff base, the crystals of the title ion-pair were obtained unexpectedly. The Schiff base component is doubly proptonated at its azomethine nitrogen, N1, and its secondary N atoms, N3, while being deprotonated at its oxygen atom, O1. The phenolate O1 atom is hydrogen bond acceptor from the protonated N1 and also from the N3 of a symmetry related molecule, forming a centrosymmetric dimer. The dimers are N—H···O and C—H···O bonded to the perchlorate anions to construct a three-dimensional polymeric structure. The network is further stabilized by C—H···π interactions (Table 1). The anionic part is mainly perchlorate ion which displays small substitutional disorder with Cl [the site-occupancy factor of the perchlorate = 0.937 (2)].
