X-ray diffraction study of the lithium chlorochromate complex with 15-crown-5 (15C5) revealed the existence of an unexpected complex dication with [(15C5) 3 Li 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] 2? composition, which is also stable in the gas phase according to the quantum-chemical calculations by B3LYP/6-311?G(d,p) method.
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.
