Abstract
The title compound, (NH4)2[Zn(NCS)4]·2C12H24O6·H2O, the result of the reaction of ammonium thiocyanate, 18-crown-6 and zinc(II) chloride in aqueous solution, exhibits an unusual supramolecular structure. The Zn atom, two of the thiocyanate chains and a water molecule, disordered over two positions, lie on a mirror plane. The macrocycle adopts a conformation with approximate D 3d symmetry. The ammonium molecules are contained within the bowl of the macrocycle via extensive N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and the complex molecules are linked via N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the c-axis direction. The macrocycle is disordered over two positions [refined occupancy ratio = 0.666 (8):0.334 (8)]. The S atoms of two isothiocyanate ligands are disordered within and about the mirror plane.
