The crystal structure of
the title compound, [C9H8NO]2[FeCl4]C1,
has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K and
refined by least squares to a residual of 0.043 for 2415 independent 'observed'
reflections. Crystals are triclinic, P1, a
14.243(5), b 10.177(3), c 7.583(3) �, α 84.71(3), β
86.96(3), γ 86.50(3�, Z 2. The organic moiety is
protonated at the nitrogen atom, with the discrete chloride ions
hydrogen-bonded in lattice tunnels; this offers a rationale for the finite but
small hydrogen chloride partial pressure at room temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
