Abstract:
In the title compound, C(3)H(12)N(2) (2+)·2BF(4) (-)·2C(12)H(24)O(6), the central C atom of the propane-1,3-diammonium cation lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. The terminal NH(3) (+) groups insert into the crown rings through strong N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, resulting in the formation of a 1:2 supra-molecular [(C(3)H(12)N(2))·(C(12)H(24)O(6))(2)](2+) complex. The anions are linked to the supra-molecular complexes via weak C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds. The F atoms of the anion are disordered over two orientations with site occupancies of 0.5.

Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...

02:18Conformations of Ethane and Propane
Staggered conformation is a low energy and more stable conformation with the C-H bonds on the front carbon placed at 60°dihedral angles relative to the C-H bonds on the back carbon, leading to a reduced torsional strain. In staggered ethane, the...
