| Abstract: | Synthesis, Vibrational Analysis, and Single Crystal Structure of Tetramethylammoniumcyanate [N(CH3)4]OCN By ionic exchange pure tetramethylammoniumcyanate [N(CH3)4]OCN was synthesized for the first time. Single crystals were investigated on a 4-circle-diffractometer. Structure solution and refinement was done in Pmn21. The structure may be derived from the CsCl-type with linear, non-symmetric cyanate-anions and tetrahedral, slightly distorted tetramethylammonium-cations. Vibrational spectra confirm the distortion of the cation which can be caused by weak O … H(C)-interactions. |
