Description
Summary:The reaction of 4-fluoroaniline hydrochloride, 18-crown-6 and ferric chloride in methanolic solution yields the title compound, (C6H7FN)[FeCl4]·C12H24O6, which has an unusual supramolecular structure. N—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions between the NH3+ substituents of the 4-fluoroanilinium cations and the O atoms of the crown ether molecules result in a rotator–stator-like structure.
