Popis: Three crystalline adducts of potassium fluorenides with 18-crown-6, KC13H9(18-crown-6)·0.5py (1, py = pyridine), KC13H9(18-crown-6)·2THF (2), and K(9-Me3SiC13H8)(18-crown-6) (3), have been synthesized and structurally characterized through single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complexes form orange to orange-brown, highly air- and moisture-sensitive crystals. In 1, the potassium ion is coordinated to the carbon atoms C4, C10 and C11 of the fluorenide anion in an η3-allyl-like fashion. In contrast, the solid-state structure of 2 consists of [K(18-crown-6)(THF)2]+ cations and free fluorenide anions. In the ring-substituted potassium fluorenide derivative 3, only C4 and C11 of the fluorenyl moiety are bonded to the potassium ion. Agostic methyl interactions between the SiMe3 substituents and the [K(18-crown-6)]+ cations lead to the formation of a polymeric chain structure.
