Abstract: | In the two compounds (borohydrido)(1,4,7,10,13,16‐hexaoxacyclooctadecane‐κ6O)potassium, [K(BH4)(C12H24O6)], (I), and (borohydrido)(1,4,7,10,13,16‐hexaoxa‐2,3:11,12‐dibenzocyclooctadeca‐2,11‐diene‐κ6O)(tetrahydrofuran)potassium, [K(BH4)(C4H8O)(C20H24O6)], (II), the K atom is bound to the six O atoms of the crown ether and to a tridentate borohydride group, with further coordination to a tetrahydrofuran molecule in (II). The alkali metal ion environment is thus distorted hexagonal–pyramidal in (I) and bipyramidal in (II). |
