The title compound, 4C6H18N22+·4HAsO42−·7H2O, contains a complex network of organic cations, hydrogen­arsenate anions and water mol­ecules. One of the two distinct (HAsO4)2− anions shows the expected distinction between protonated and unprotonated As—O bond lengths. The component species inter­act by way of N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, with the latter leading to distinct centrosymmetric (HAsO4)4 tetra­mers, in which the central linking O—H...O bond is assumed to be disordered about the inversion centre. Together, the cations and anions form an unusual three-dimensional framework encapsulating [100] channels occupied by the water mol­ecules.

Comment top

The title compound, (I), was prepared as part of our ongoing studies of hydrogen bonding interactions in the molecular salts of arsenic oxo-anions (Wilkinson & Harrison, 2007a,b). Its asymmetric unit contains two organic cations, two anions and three-and-a-half water molecules (Fig. 1).

The tetrahedral (HAs1O4)2- anion in (I) shows the expected distinction (Table 1) between its protonated and unprotonated As—O bond lengths. The situation for the (HAs2O4)2- group is less clear cut, and seems to be correlated with disorder of its H atoms (see below). Both C2H10N22+ dications are in their extended conformations with all their backbone torsion angles close to 180°. Three fully occupied (O9, O10, O11) water molecules and one half occupied (O12) water molecule complete the structure. O12 cannot be more than half occupied due to a close O12···O12xx (xx = -x, 1 - y, -z) contact of 2.21 (1) Å.

As well as Coulombic forces, the component species in (I) interact by way of a network of N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2). The (HAsO4)2- units are linked by way of O—H···O bonds into distinctive, isolated, tetramers (Fig. 2). The complete assembly is generated by inversion, thus the central O5—H2···O5i (see Table 2 for symmetry code) link must be disordered (i.e. O5—H2···O5i + O5i—H2i···O5 bonds) or possibly a symmetric O5···H2···O5i bond (i.e. the H atom occupies the inversion centre (Wilson, 2001). These possibilities could not be distinguished in the present experiment and a disordered model was assumed. Either of these possibilities necessitates disorder of the H atoms of the As2-hydrogenarsenate group, with one of the (HAsO4)2- moieties directing its H atom elsewhere. The extended As2—O6 bond length suggests that O6 bears the H atom and if so, it makes an O—H···O link to the disordered O12 water molecule O atom (Fig. 2).

The cations interact with the anion tetramers by way of a large number of N—H···O bonds (Table 2), with each NH3+ group making three such links, as is typically seen in these systems (Wilkinson & Harrison, 2007a). Unfortunately the H atoms of the water molecules in (I) could not be located in the present study. The disorder of the As2 H atoms and O12 seems to require that at least some of the water H atoms are also disordered, and the situation is too uncertain to allow their geometrical placement with any confidence.

The packing for (I) results in a distinctive structure (Fig. 3) in which hydrogen-bonded (001) sheets of tetrahedral tetramers are bridged by the organic molecules to result in a framework encapsulating [100] channels, which are occupied by the water molecules.

The structure of 1,6-diamminiumhexane bis(dihydrogenarsenate), C6H18N2·(H2AsO4)2, (II), (Wilkinson & Harrison, 2007a), in which the arsenic-containing anion bears two protons, is entirely different to that of (I). In (II), infinite sheets of H-bonded tetrahedra arise and the centrosymmetric cation adopts a gauche conformation. Other types of supramolecular networks based on hydrogen bonded organic cations and arsenate tetrahedra are descibed by Wilkinson & Harrison (2007b).

Experimental top

0.5 M Aqueous solutions of 1,6-diaminohexane (10 ml) and arsenic acid (10 ml) were mixed, resulting in a colourless liquid. Aqueous ammonia was then added to the mixture to raise the pH to 11. Colourless slabs of (I) grew as the water slowly evaporated at 298 K.

Refinement top

The highest difference peak is 0.82 Å from As2, and the deepest difference hole is 0.62 Å from As2 perhaps indicating disorder of the (HAs2O4)2- group, but refinements attempting to model this were unstable. The next-highest feature in the final difference map (0.76 e Å3) is at the noise level.

H1 was located in a difference map and refined as riding. H2, H3 and the C– and N-bonded hydrogen atoms were placed in idealized positions (O—H = 0.90 Å, C—H = 0.99 Å, N—H = 0.91 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier).

The H atoms of the water molecules could not be located.

Special details top

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.
