Crystal Structures of Two New Monoprotonated Products of 1,4,7-trimethyl- 1,4,7-triazacyclononane: (Me3 [9] aneN3H ) (SO3CF3) and (Me3 [9] aneN3H) I

Two new monoprotonated products of macrocyclic polyamine 1,4,7-trimethyl- 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (Me3 [9]aneN3), (Me3 [9]aneN3H) (SO3CF3) 1 (C10H22N3O3SF3, Mr=321.36) and (Me3[9]aneN3H)I 2 (C9H22N3I, Mr=299.20) were obtained by the reactions of Me3[9]aneN3 and yttrium triflate or ytterbium diiodide as the unexpected products. The crystal structures of compounds 1 and 2 have been determined. Crystal 1is orthorhombic, space group P212121(#19), a =12. 609(3), b=13. 531(1), c=9.225(3) A, V=1573.9(7) A3, Z=4, Dc=1. 356g/cm3, μ=2.47cm- 1, F (000) = 680 and R= 0. 052, Rw= 0. 052 for 807 unique reflections with I＞ 2σ(I). Crystal 2 belongs to the orthorhombic system with space group P212121 (# 19), a=11.417(2), b=13.099(3), c=8.762(2) A, V=1310.5(4) A3, Z=4, Dc=1. 516 g/cm3, μ= 24.14 cm-1, F(000)=600 and R=0. 035, Rw=0. 042 for 1427 u-nique reflections with I＞3σ(I). The two structures contain the same cyclic framework in which the acid proton is bonded to an amine nitrogen. This proton exhibits strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the other two nitrogen atoms. The methyl groups are directed away from the ring cavity. The bond distance between acid proton and an amine nitrogen in compound 2 is extremely short. The bond angles for 1 and 2 also exhibit obvous diversity inside of triazacyclononae.
