  • Abstract
    The crystal and mol­ecular strutures of two solvated forms of [K(18c6)]OAc (18c6 = 18-crown-6 = 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa­oxa­cyclo­octa­decane and OAc = acetate) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, namely (acetato-κ2O,O′)(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa­oxa­cyclo­octa­decane-κ6O)potassium dihydrate, [K(CH3COO)(C12H24O6)]·2H2O (1) and (acetato-κ2O,O′)aqua­(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa­oxa­cyclo­octa­decane-κ6O)potassium acetic acid monosolvate [K(CH3COO)(C12H24O6)(H2O)]·CH3COOH (2). In both compounds, the acetate anion is bonded to the potassium ion in a chelating fashion and the metal atom is consequently slightly displaced from the O6 plane of the crown ether. In the crystals, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to a polymeric ladder structure in the dihydrate 1, while the acetic acid hydrate 2 features inversion dimers.
