The Crystal Structure of Dodecahedral Ba²⁺ Hexa-Perchlorate Complex Tetrakis 1-N-Propyl-3-vinyl-imidazol-1-ium·Barium Hexa-Perchlorate.

ABSTRACT: In cold methanol, energetic ionic liquid 1-n-propyl-3-vinyl-imidazol-1-ium perchlorate, 1, crystallizes in the presence of excess Ba(ClO₄)₂, 2, into tetrakis 1-propyl-3-vinyl-imidazol-1-ium·barium hexa-perchlorate, 3. Crystals of 3, with molecular formula (C₈H₁₃N₂)₄·BaCl₆O₂₄, are colorless and monoclinic, with space group P2₁/c. The crystal structure is characterized by a dodecahedral coordination around the barium atom, with each perchlorate chelating Ba²⁺ in a κ²O,O' fashion, and the Ba(ClO₄)₆^4- anion is surrounded by four imidazolium cations.
