In the title compound, C7H10N+·ClO4·C12H24O6, the 4-methyl­anilinium cation inter­acts with an 18-crown-6 mol­ecule forming a rotator–stator-like structure through bifurcated N—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds between the ammonium group of the cation and the O atoms of the crown ether mol­ecule. All three components of the structure possess mirror symmetry. The benzene ring is inclined to the mean plane of the crown ether molecule by 86.84 (8)°.

Comment top

Recently, the crystal structure of 4-methylanilinium tetrafluoroborate 18-crown-6 clathrate (I), obtained in our laboratory, has been reported (Ge & Zhao, 2010). In continuation of our studies of compounds containing 18-crown-6 macrocycles and ammonium cations RNH3+, we present here the title compound (II) (Fig. 1), which is isostructural with (I).

In (II), the methyl and the protonated –NH3 groups of the 4-methylanilinium lie on a dual axis of rotation, and perchlorate anion lie on a mirror plane. All bond length and angles are normal and correspond to those reported for (I) (Ge & Zhao, 2010). The 4-methylanilinium cation interacts with 18-crown-6 molecule forming a rotator–stator structure through bifurcated N—H···(O,O) hydrogen bonds (Table 1) between the ammonium group of the cation and the O atoms of the crown ether molecule.

Experimental top

In room temperature p-tolylanmine (5 mmol, 0.535 g) was dissolved in 20 ml Me thanol, then HClO4 was added into the previous solution slowly with properly sirring until the solution become neutral.At last 18-crown-6 (5 mmol,1.65 g) were dissolved in the solution above, strring. Quite a quantity of white deposit are obtained,methanol are added into the solution again until deposit are dissolved. A great quantity of colorless block crystasls were obtained by filtrating after several hours in air. Block colorless single crystals suitable for X-ray structure analysis were obtained by the slow evaporation of the above solution after a week in air.

The dielectric constant of the compound as a function of temperature indicates that the permittivity is basically temperature-independent (ε = C/(T–T0)), suggesting that this compound is not ferroelectric or there may be no distinct phase transition occurring within the measured temperature range between 128 K and 378 K.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å; N—H = 0.89 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso = 1.2-1.5 Ueq of the parent atom.

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.
