Adamantylammonium chloride (2 mmol, 0.375 g) and 18-crown-6 (2 mmol, 0.528 g) were dissolved in methanol (40 ml). Zinc(II) dichloride (2 mmol, 0.272 g) was added to the solution, followed by concentrated hydrochloric acid (5 ml). Single crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained via slow evaporation of the methanol solution at room temperature after two weeks. The crystals were colourless, of prismatic habitus and of an average size of about 0.2 × 0.3 × 0.4 mm.
Dielectric studies (capacitance and dielectric-loss measurements) were performed on powder samples which had been pressed into tablets, on the surfaces of which conducting carbon glue was deposited. An automatic impedance TongHui2828 Analyzer was used. In the measured temperature range (80–430 K), the title structure showed no dielectric anomaly.
All C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and allowed to ride on the parent C atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
All the N- and O-bound H atoms were discernible in the difference electron-density map. The positions of the N-bound H atoms were refined using a riding model, with N—H = 0.89 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(N). The coordinates of the water H atoms were refined with the restraint O—H = 0.84 (2) Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Crown ethers have attracted much attention due to their ability to form noncovalent and hydrogen-bonded complexes with ammonium cations, in both the solid state and solution (Fender et al., 2002; Rieger et al., 2005). Both the size of the crown ether and the nature of the ammonium cation (–NH4+, RNH3+ etc.) can influence the stoichiometry and stability of these host–guest adducts. Through the intermolecular interactions between the host molecules and guest species, it is easy to realise high selectivity in ionic or molecular recognition (Sato et al., 2007; Akutagawa et al., 2008). 18-Crown-6 and its derivatives exhibit the highest affinity with organic ammonium cations RNH3+, with a 1:1 stoichiometry in most studies (Doxsee et al., 2000; Johnson et al., 2000; Buschmann et al., 2001). We now present the structure of the title compound, (I), containing an adduct of 18-crown-6 and an ammonium cation.
Compound (I) crystallizes in the space group Pbcn. The asymmetric unit contains two adamantan-1-aminium cations, one 18-crown-6 ether molecule, one [ZnCl4]2- anion, and one water molecule (Fig. 1). Only one of the two crystallographically independent adamantan-1-aminium cations joins the rotator–stator assembly with 18-crown-6, via a hydrogen-bonding interaction (Fig. 2). The –NH3+ group of the cation interacts with the six crown ether O atoms through three short approximately linear N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and three longer acute interactions [2.957 (4), 2.938 (4) and 2.958 (4) Å from N1 to atoms O1, O3 and O5, respectively].
The conformation of the crown-ether ring and the hydrogen-bond geometry in this assembly closely resemble those in related adducts of 18-crown-6 and primary alkylammonium salts (Henschel et al., 1997). The macrocycle adopts a conformation with approximate D3d symmetry, with all C—C torsion angles being gauche and alternating in sign, and all C—O and O—C torsion angles being trans. The ether O atoms are nearly coplanar. O1, O3 and O5 are located below the mean O-atom plane [0.1798 (18), 0.1499 (18) and 0.1672 (19) Å, respectively] and O2, O4 and O6 are located above the plane [0.1635 (17), 0.1533 (18) and 0.1801 (18) Å, respectively]. The C—N bonds of the adamantan-1-aminium cation are almost perpendicular to the mean plane of the crown-ether O atoms. Atom N1 of the adamantan-1-aminium cation is 0.983 (3) Å out of the plane.
It is interesting that the second adamantan-1-aminium cation is not trapped by the 18-crown-6 ether. The reason may lie in the [ZnCl4]2- anions, which are relatively small {in contrast to the [Ni(dmit)2]- (dmit is 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate; Akutagawa et al., 2002) and [PMo12O40]4- (Akutagawa et al., 2006) anions} for embedding large and structurally diverse supramolecular cations in the crystal lattice.
The [ZnCl4]2- anions are present as counterions to the supramolecular [(C10H18N)(18-crown-6)]+ and isolated adamantan-1-aminium cations, and coordinate to both. The ZnII centre adopts a tetrahedral coordination with four Cl- ions, which has been observed in many crystal structures (Jin et al., 2005; Valkonen et al., 2006; Albrecht et al., 2003; Wickleder, 2001). Generally, the Zn—Cl bond lengths and Cl—Zn—Cl angles in a [ZnCl4]2- anion are not equal to one another (Wickleder, 2001; Albrecht et al. 2003) but vary with the environment around the Cl atoms. In (I), as Cl1, Cl3 and Cl4 are involved in stronger and more numerous N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds than Cl2, the Zn1—Cl2 bonds are obviously shorter than all the other Zn—Cl bonds. The [ZnCl4]2- anion shows typical Zn—Cl bond lengths [2.2354 (9)–2.3214 (10) Å] and the Cl—Zn—Cl angles range from 104.53 (4) to 115.96 (4)°. Owing to the obvious differences of the Zn—Cl distances and the Cl—Zn—Cl angles, the coordination geometry of the Zn atom could be regarded as a distorted tetrahedron.
It has been reported that Cl atoms coordinating to metal atom centres are good hydrogen-bond acceptors (Aullon et al., 1998). In this structure, only one of the four Cl atoms (Cl2) of [ZnCl4]2- fails to engage in hydrogen-bonding interactions (Table 1). The O—H···Cl, N—H···O and N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds between discrete tetrahedral tetrachlorozincate(II) anions, isolated adamantylammonium cations and solvent water molecules result in a noteworthy one-dimensional ribbon-like structure along the b axis (Fig. 3). This ribbon motif (Fig. 3) is the dominant hydrogen-bonding motif (Hulme et al., 2006) in the structure of (I). This structure propagates via two types of rings: one of level four [R43(10)], and one of level three [R33(8)]. The R43(10) ring includes four hydrogen bonds, viz. N2—H2D···Cl4, N2—H2E···Cl1, O1W—H1WA···Cl4 and O1W—H1WB···Cl3. The second-order motif involves three hydrogen bonds, viz. N2—H2D···Cl4, N2—H2F···O1W and O1W—H1WB···Cl3. The discrete adamantan-1-aminium–crown ether units are located on both sides of the ribbon, forming possible C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds which would link all the units into a two-dimensional network.
This study is also part of our systematic investigation of dielectric, ferroelectric and phase-transition materials (Ye et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2009), including organic compounds, metal–organic coordination compounds and organic–inorganic hybrids. The measurement of the dielectric constant of (I) as a function of temperature showed that the permittivity is basically temperature-independent (dielectric constant of 6–7) below room temperature. Such a dielectric response suggests that this compound might not undergo a distinct structural phase transition in the lower temperature range. Similarly, in the range from room temperature to near its melting point (m.p. > 470 K), the dielectric constant increases smoothly as a function of temperature, and no dielectric anomaly was observed (dielectric constant 7–17).
