Upon the addition of triphenyltetrazolium chloride solution (50 ml, 1×10-2 M) to a solution of potassium bromide (50 ml), a whitish precipitate was formed. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with cold deionized water until no chloride ion was detected in the washing solution. The precipitate was dried under vacuum to give the title ion-pairs complex. Colourless blocks suitable for an X-ray structural analysis were obtained by slow evaporation from ethanol.
The O-bound H atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely [O1—H1O1 = 0.77 (2) Å]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93, 0.96 and 0.97 Å) and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl group. Seven outliers, (085), (022), (084), (043), (011), (042) and (094), were omitted in the final
The crystal studied was an with BASF of 0.368 (5).2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium ion is used as indicator of bacterial dehydrogenase activity and as a reagent in colorimetric determination method for glucose dehydrogenase. Moreover, triphenyltetrazolium ion is used as ion-pair reagent for determination of antimony in waste water (Mostafa, 2007; Hassanien et al., 2003; Abbas et al., 2001).
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The
of the title compound, C19H15N4+.Br-.C2H6O, consists of a 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazol-3-ium cation, a bromine anion and an ethanol molecule. The three phenyl rings (C1–C6, C7–C12 and C14–C19) are twisted from the central tetrazole ring (N1–N4/C13; r.m.s. deviation = 0.004 Å) with dihedral angles of 57.44 (9), 50.92 (9) and 4.65 (8)°, respectively. The dihedral angles between the C1–C6 and C7–C12 rings, C1–C6 and C14–C19 rings, and C7–C12 and C14–C19 rings are 61.79 (8), 54.28 (8) and 47.03 (8)°, respectively.In the crystal (Fig. 2), the cation and the anion are linked to each other by intermolecular C9—H9A···Br1 and C11—H11A···Br1 hydrogen bonds into an infinite chain, running along the b axis, with atom Br1 as the bifurcated acceptor. The crystal packing is further stabilized by the intermolecular O1—H1O1···Br1 hydrogen bond, involving the ethanol O atom.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
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. |

2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium ion is used as indicator of bacterial dehydrogenase activity and as a reagent in colorimetric determination method for glucose dehydrogenase. Moreover, triphenyltetrazolium ion is used as ion-pair reagent for determination of antimony in waste water (Mostafa, 2007; Hassanien et al., 2003; Abbas et al., 2001).
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C19H15N4+.Br-.C2H6O, consists of a 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazol-3-ium cation, a bromine anion and an ethanol molecule. The three phenyl rings (C1–C6, C7–C12 and C14–C19) are twisted from the central tetrazole ring (N1–N4/C13; r.m.s. deviation = 0.004 Å) with dihedral angles of 57.44 (9), 50.92 (9) and 4.65 (8)°, respectively. The dihedral angles between the C1–C6 and C7–C12 rings, C1–C6 and C14–C19 rings, and C7–C12 and C14–C19 rings are 61.79 (8), 54.28 (8) and 47.03 (8)°, respectively.
In the crystal (Fig. 2), the cation and the anion are linked to each other by intermolecular C9—H9A···Br1 and C11—H11A···Br1 hydrogen bonds into an infinite chain, running along the b axis, with atom Br1 as the bifurcated acceptor. The crystal packing is further stabilized by the intermolecular O1—H1O1···Br1 hydrogen bond, involving the ethanol O atom.
