Figure 2.
(a,b) The 2F[o] – F[c] ion omit maps (1.5 ) show electron density of ion binding in the K^+ complex (a) and Rb^+ complex (b) of NaKN 19. K^+ and Rb^+ ions are colored green, with water molecules represented as red spheres. (c) The maintenance of an octahedral ligand arrangement in the K^+ complex, which also holds true for the Rb^+ complex. Oxygen atoms from the front and back subunits chelating the ions are shown as red spheres. (d) F[Cs soak] – F[K] difference map contoured at 10 , showing Cs^+ binding at site 3.
