Structural characterization of a sulfate complex with an azamacrocycle suggests that one sulfate is encapsulated in the macrocyclic cavity with eight hydrogen bonds; a significant selectivity of the host was observed for sulfate over halides, nitrate and perchlorate as evaluated by (1)H NMR studies in water.

Structural aspects of the binding of inorganic anions such as perchlorate, hydrogen sulfate, and hexafluorosilicate with the proton cage of octaaminocryptand L(1), N(CH(2)CH(2)NHCH(2)-p-xylyl-CH(2)NHCH(2)CH(2))(3)N), are examined thoroughly. Crystallographic results for a hexaprotonated perchlorate complex of L(1), [(H(6)L(1))(6+)(ClO(4) (-))]5(ClO(4) (-)).11H(2)O.CH(3)CN (1), an octaprotonated...

The pH-profiles of the extraction of Cs(+) into four conventional (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and bis[trifluoromethyl)sulphonyl]imides of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium, and 1-(2-ethylhexyl)-3- methylimidazolium) and two novel (trioctylmethylammonium salicylate and tetrahexylammonium dihexylsulfosuccinate) room temperature ionic liquids have been d...

We have carried out an ab initio molecular dynamics study on the sulfur dioxide (SO2) solvation in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate for which we have observed that both cations and anions play an essential role in the solvation of SO2. Whereas, the anions tend to form a thiocyanate- and much less often an isothiocyanate-SO2 adduct, the cations create a "cage" around SO2 with those groups...

In the crystal structure of the title salt hydrate, C9H8NO(+)·HSO4 (-)·H2O, the quinoline N-H atoms are hydrogen bonded to the bis-ulfate anions. The bis-ulfate anions and water mol-ecules are linked together by O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. The cations and anions form separate layers alternating along the c axis, which are linked by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional...

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, 2C4H8N5 (+)·SO4 (2-)·5H2O, contains four 2,4,6-tri-amino-pyrimidinium (TAPH(+)) cations, two sulfate anions and ten lattice water mol-ecules. Each two of the four TAPH(+) cations form dimers via N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the amino groups and the unprotonated pyrimidine N atoms [graph-set motif R 2 (2)(8)]. The (TAPH(+))2 dimers, in turn, form slightly o...

The title salt, C(10)H(7)N(2) (+)·HSO(4) (-), is formed by the transfer of a proton from H(2)SO(4) to the N atom of 2-cyano-quinoline during crystallization. The quinoline ring system is approximately planar with a maximum deviation of 0.013 (3) Å. In the crystal, the cations are linked to the anions via inter-molecular N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a layered network.
