metal-organic compounds
In (C10H30N4)[Li2(P6O18)].4H2O, the [P6O18]6- anion is located around the twofold axis. Two Li cations, in regular tetrahedral environments, are connected to the phosphoric anion by a short Li-P bonds of 3.074 (4) Å. An isolated eight-membered complex ring anion [Li2(P6O18)(H2O)4]4- of symmetry 2 is then formed. Hydrogen bonds from the water molecules link these anions in successive layers parallel to the bc plane. The cohesion between these layers is a result of hydrogen bonds from the long chain tetracation, [NH3(CH2)3NH2(CH2)4NH2(CH2)3NH3]4+.
