Crystals from concentrated glyme mixtures. The single-crystal structure of LiClO4.
A procedure for the preparation of high-quality single crystals from concentrated glyme mixtures is presented. Anhydrous single crystals of LiNO(3) and LiClO(4) were prepared in this manner, and the single-crystal structure of LiClO(4) (orthorhombic, Pnma, a = 8.6447(12) A, b = 6.8512(10) A, c = 4.8254(7) A, Z = 4) was determined as an example. This procedure is expected to be widely applicable for not only salts but also a wide range of other materials solvated by glymes.
