Trans-2,5-Di-methyl-piperazine-1,4-diium bis(perchlorate) dihydrate: crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title hydrated mol-ecular salt, C6H16N2 (2+)·2ClO4 (-)·2H2O, contains a half dication (completed by inversion symmetry), a perchlorate anion and a water mol-ecule. The extended structure consists of infinite chains of formula [(ClO4)H2O] n (n) (-) ions extending along the b axis linked by Ow-H⋯O (w = water) hydrogen bonds. These chains are cross-linked by the dications via N-H⋯Ow and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, thus forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular network. Three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint maps reveal that the structure is dominated by H⋯O/O⋯H and H⋯H contacts.
