Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title organic salt, C(3)H(10)NO(+)·IO(4) (-)·C(12)H(24)O(6), the protonated 2-meth-oxy-ethanaminium (CH(3)OC(2)H(4)-NH(3) (+)) cation forms a 1:1 supra-molecular rotator-stator complex with the 18-crown-6 mol-ecule via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The (CH(3)OC(2)H(4)-NH(3) (+)) group is attached from the convex side of the bowl-shaped crown, in contrast to similar ammonium cations that nest in the curvature of the bowl. The cations are associated via N-H⋯O inter-actions, while the cations and anions are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming cation-crown-anion chains parallel to [010].

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
