The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C6H20N3)[BiCl6]·H2O, consists of a triprotonated bis(3-azaniumylpropyl)azanium cation, two halves of an octahedral [BiCl6]3− anion, each of the BiIII atoms lying on an inversion centre, and a water molecule. In the crystal, the anions and water molecules are linked by O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming chains running parallel to [0-11]. The anionic chains and the cations are further linked into a three-dimensional network by N—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯O hydrogen-bond interactions.
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.
