Die Kristallstruktur von 2,4-Diaminovinamidinium-bis-tetrachloroferrat(III), (C9H16N4) [FeCl4]2 / The Crystal Structure of 2,4-Diaminovinamidinium Bis-tetrachloroferrate(III), (C9H16N4)[FeCl4]

Abstract

(davaH2)[FeCl4]2 crystallizes at room temperature from aqueous solutions of 2,4-diaminovinamidinium hydrochloride, (davaH)Cl, and FeCl3 in 3M HCl in the orthorhombic space group Pca21 with a=14.108(3), b = 16.502(3), c = 18.919(4) Å, Z=8. The structure consists of diprotonated tricyclic (davaH2)2+ cations and slightly distorted tetrahedral [FeCl4]- anions. The cations are bent around the central heptacycle forming boat-like units. One of the two independent cations is disordered between two positions. Some interatomic distances N···Cl are interpreted in terms of N-H···Cl hydrogen bonds.
