In the organic/inorganic salt hydrate, 6C7H9ClN+·P6O18
6−·2H2O, the cyclohexaphosphate anion resides on an inversion centre. The asymmetric unit consists of three cations, one half-anion and a water molecule. In the crystal, the water molecules and the [P6O18]6− anions are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating infinite layers parallel to the ab plane. These layers are interconnected by the organic cations through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
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.
