Tris(1,9-diethyl­adeninium) triiodide diiodide

X‐ray analysis of the title compound reveals three crystallographically distinct cations of 1,9‐diethyl­adeninium, two iodide anions and one triiodide anion in the asymmetric unit, giving six residues and the formula 3C9H14N5+·I3−·2I−. Standard purine nomenclature is used to identify the atoms of ea...

Zusammenfassung:X‐ray analysis of the title compound reveals three crystallographically distinct cations of 1,9‐diethyl­adeninium, two iodide anions and one triiodide anion in the asymmetric unit, giving six residues and the formula 3C9H14N5+·I3−·2I−. Standard purine nomenclature is used to identify the atoms of each adenine moiety. Hydrogen bonding is observed between atoms N6 and N7 of a pair of cations [N⋯N = 2.885 (4)/2.902 (3) and 2.854 (3)/2.854 (3) Å], with additional hydrogen bonding to I− anions via the other N6 H atom [N⋯I = 3.708 (3), 3.738 (3) and 3.638 (3) Å]. The triiodide anion is not involved in hydrogen bonding. The bond lengths and angles of the 1,9‐diethyl­adeninium cations are compared with literature values and confirm the formation of the imine tautomer.
