Anhydrous ammonioguanidinium(2+) and dihydrated bis[aminoguanidinium(1+)] hexafluorosilicates: new co-products of preparing ferroelectric ammonioguanidinium(2+) hexafluorozirconate

C. R. Ross II, M. R. Bauer, R. M. Nielson and S. C. Abrahams

Ammonioguanidinium hexafluorosilicate, CH₈N $_4^{2+}$ ·SiF $_6^{2-}$ , and bis(aminoguanidinium) hexafluorosilicate dihydrate, 2CH₇N

·SiF $_6^{2-}$ ·2H₂O, are new materials formed as by-products in course of preparing ferroelectric CH₈N₄ZrF₆ in the presence of glassware. Their structures were determined for comparison with the corresponding hexafluorozirconates. All atoms including the eight H atoms in the CH₈N $_4^{2+}$ cation and the seven H atoms in the CH₇N

cation have been located and refined with wR(F²) = 0.0653, R = 0.0255, S = 1.146 and wR(F²) = 0.0745, R = 0.0301, S = 1.065, respectively. The N₂C—N—N backbone of the 2+ cation is close to planarity, while that of the 1+ cation does not differ significantly from planarity. The SiF $_6^{2-}$ octahedron is nearly ideally regular in both materials, with <Si—F> = 1.684 (unbiassed estimator of standard uncertainty = 0.016) Å in the anhydrous hexafluorosilicate and 1.6801 (unbiassed estimator of standard uncertainty = 0.0006) Å in the dihydrate. The combination of coulombic and NH

F interactions in CH₈N₄SiF₆ results in a relatively dense variant of the NaCl structure. In addition to similar forces, the dihydrate is also characterized by the role of the water molecule with its strong NH

O interactions; its packing efficiency is, however, appreciably less than that of the anhydrous hexafluorosilicate with an ∼8% increase in void space. Cleaved crystals of the dihydrate are frequently twinned across the (001) composition plane, with a twofold rotation about the b axis as the twin operation.

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.
