Bis(3-azoniapentane-15-diaminium) cyclo­hexa­phosphate dihydrate: a monoclinic polymorph

摘要

In the title hydrated mol­ecular salt, 2C4H16N3 ³⁺·P6O18 ⁶⁻·2H2O, the complete cyclo­hexa­phosphate anion is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The six P atoms of the P6O18 ⁶⁻ anion form a chair conformation and the organic cation has a corrugated linear geometry. In the crystal, the cations and the anions are connected by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into slabs propagating in the ac plane. The water mol­ecules link the slabs by accepting N—H⋯O links and forming O—H⋯O links. The triclinic polymorph was reported by Gharbi et al. [(1995). J. Solid State Chem. >114, 42–51].
