5,7,7,12,14,14-Hexamethyl-4,11-diaza-1,8-diazo-niacyclo-tetra-decane bis-(perchlorate) monohydrate
Abstract:
In the title hydrated salt, C(16)H(38)N(4) (2+)·2ClO(4) (-)·H(2)O, the dication is protonated at the diagonally opposite N atoms proximate to the -C(CH(3))(2)- groups. Within the cavity, there are two ammonium-amine N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Supra-molecular layers are formed in the crystal packing whereby the water mol-ecule links two perchlorate anions, and the resultant aggregates are connected to the dications via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Layers, with an undulating topology, stack along the a axis being connected by C-H⋯O inter-actions.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...

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...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
