Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [K(C(3)H(3)N(2))(C(12)H(24)O(6))], is composed of a potassium cation bonded to the six O atoms of a crown ether mol-ecule and the two N atoms of a pyrazolate anion. The K⋯O distances range from 2.8416 (8) to 3.0025 (8) Å, and the two K⋯N distances are 2.7441 (11) and 2.7654 (11) Å. The K cation is displaced by 0.8437 (4) Å from the best plane through the six O atoms. The latter plane is almost perpendicular to the plane of the pyrazolate ring [dihedral angle 83.93 (3)°].
