Crystal structure of a novel bis(guanidiniums) compound incorporated by sulfate anion

Crystal structure of a novel bis(guanidiniums) compound 1 by sulfate anion and water, C₁₁H₂₀N₆OSO₄H₂O, was measured by X-ray crystallographic analysis with an imaging plate method. It possesses space group P2₁/c, with a = 7.6433(15), b = 19.447(4), c = 12.115(2) Å, = 107.81(3)°, and _calc = 1.420 mg/m³ for Z = 4. Crystal data indicate that the architecture network is formed through hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, and arene–arene stacking interaction among the bis(guanidiniums) compound, the sulfate anion and water molecule.
