Inclusion-Compounds of K+-Crown Ether Derivatives Introduced by Trisbiimidazolate Nickel(II) Complex with Large Channel Structures
[Ni(Hbim)(3)][K-cryptand] (K-cryptand = potassium cryptand monocation : Hbim = mono-deprotonated 2,2’-biimidazolate] is synthesized and its crystal structure is characterized by X-ray crystal analysis. monoclinic, C2/c (No. 15), a = 18.966(2) Angstrom, b = 19.059(2) Angstrom, c = 25.469(2) Angstrom, beta = 103.201(8)degrees, V = 8962(1) Angstrom(3), Z = 8). It has a unique channel structure built up by slacking two-dimensional honeycomb sheets.
