Synthesis and crystal structure of 3-ammoniumphenyl sulfone selenate, 3-aminophenyl sulfone [C12H14N2O2S]SeO4 · [C12H12N2O2S]

The crystal structure of [C12H14N2O2S]SeO4 · [C12H12N2O2S] was determined by X-ray diffraction on single crystal. Crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with cell parameters a = 11.545 (1), b = 8.143 (1), c = 55.783(1)Å, V = 5244.2 (8)Å3 and Z = 8. The structure can be described as organic layers built by [C12H14N2O2S]2+ cations and [C12H12N2O2S] molecules, parallel to ab plane, between which the inorganic groups SeO42− are inserted. In this atomic arrangement, H-bonds between the different species play an important role in the three-dimensional network cohesion.
