Abstract

The investigation of the supramolecular interactions between the lithium isothiocyanate salt and 18-crown-6 (18C-6) in commercial tetrahydrofuran leads to the formation of a lithium compound, LiNCS(H2O)(18C-6) (1). In the crystal structure the asymmetric unit contains two similar LiNCS(H2O)(18C-6) molecules. Solid-state photoluminescence experiments have shown that compound 1 emits violet luminescence, and its possible emission mechanism was investigated in detail based on theoretical calculations.

Keywords: crown ether; crystal structure; isothiocyanate; lithium; photoluminescence
