Extensive hydrogen-bonding network and an unusual cation conformation in [tris­(hydroxy­meth­yl)methyl]­ammonium tetra­oxidorhenate(VII)

Abstract

The title compound, (C4H12NO3)[ReO4], contains two cations and two anions in the asymmetric unit, related by a non-crystallographic centre of symmetry. The crystal structure is stabilized by an extensive hydrogen-bonding network with the formation of puckered layers perpendicular to [001]. In the tris­(hydroxy­meth­yl)ammonium cations, intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present with the formation of an S 1 1(6) graph-set motif. The crystal structure is further consolid­ated by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
