The structure has been refined toR=0.0475 for 2617 unique observed reflections. In the lattice the 1:1 complex exists as a 2:2 dimer in which the crown are coupled through the Pic anions and NH₄ ⁺ cations. The asymmetric unit consists of two independent half crown ethers of which two opposite O atoms are on the mirror plane, two half ammonium cations of which the N and two H atoms are also on the mirror plane while the Pic anion is in a general position. Relative to each other, the corwn ethers are shifted by about 7.3 Å alongb and 1 Å alongc. The 1:1 sandwich of NH₄ with DB18C6 and Pic on dimerisation becomes a club pseudo-sandwich with three phenyl rings on either side of the mirror plane, thus forming a nearly parallel stack with a 3.6 Å inter-ring distance. The NH₄ ions hold the structure; two H atoms on the mirror plane are hydrogen-bonded to the opposite oxygens of the crown located on the purely aliphatic part of the ring (2.10(1), 2.06(3) and 2.26(3), 2.05(1) Å) for the two independent crowns, respectively, while the other two H atoms form mirror-related bifurcated hydrogen bonds with the phenoxide oxygen (1.99(1) and 2.01(1) Å) and theo-nitrogen oxygen (2.44(2) and 2.34(1) Å) of the picrates.

Synthesis,molecular structure and reactivity of sodium 5-sulfosalicylate dihydrate and sodium[triaqua(5-sulfosalicylato)copper(II)] 2 hemihydrate

The crystal and molecular structure of sodium 5-sulfosalicylate dihydrate, Na[(H₂Ssal)(H₂O)₂], (1) (H₃Ssal=5-sulfosalicylic acid) has been determined through X-ray diffraction analysis. The 5-sulfosalicylate anion has lost the proton at the SO₃H group but retains the usual intermolecular hydrogen bond between phenolic and carboxylic oxygen. The reaction in water of 1 with [Cu(II)(H₂O)₄]SO₄·H₂O, gives rise to the green sodium[triaqua(5-sulfosalicylato)copper(II)] 2 hemihydrate, Na[(H₂O)₃(Ssal)Cu(II)]·2×0.5H₂O, (2). The 5-sulfosalicylate anion, (Ssal³⁻), coordinates rather unusually in the syn–syn coordination mode since it binds bidentately the Cu(II) ion through the carboxylic and the phenolic oxygens, with Cu(II)O_carboxylic=1.909(4) Å and Cu(II)O_phenolic=1.885(4) Å distances. Copper(II) completes its square-planar coordination with two water molecules and in addition, perpendicularly to the square-planar coordination plane, another two water molecules with long bonds are present (Cu(II)O=2.518 and 2.912 Å). The green complex 2 reacts easily with adenine in water at pH 7 giving rise to the violet tetraadeninato(diaqua)-bis(copper(II)) dihydrate, [Cu₂(Ade)₄(H₂O)₂])]·2H₂O, (3) (Ade⁻=adeninato monoanion). This complex, that geometrically resembles copper(II) acetate monohydrate, was already described by Sletten. Finally, on the basis of the present results a possible mechanism for the anticancer activity of complex 2 and of other Cu(II)–salicylate complexes is proposed and discussed.
