..delta../sup 1(6)/-Dehydrosparteinium monoperchlorate, (C/sub 15/H/sub 25/N/sub 2/)/sup +/ x ClO/sub 4//sup -/, is orthorhombic: P2/sub 1/2/sub 11/, a = 12.473(2), b = 24.292(3), c = 10.835(1) A, V/sub c/ = 3353.7(9) A/sup 3/, Z = 8, D/sub x/ = 1.32, D/sub m/ = 1.32 g cm/sup -3/, ..mu..(Cu K..cap alpha..) = 20.7 cm/sup -1/. The final R was 0.097 for 2091 observed counter reflections. A partial disorder of the crystal structure has been observed. The two independent perchlorate anions are orientationally disordered, and the peripheral atoms in the cation skeletons have large temperature factors due both to conformational disorder of rings A and to disordered orientations of the whole cations alike. In rings A, atoms C(3) and C(4), trans-annular to the immonium bond, are disordered to a different extent in each of the two independent cations. Rings B, C, and D have sofa (distorted towards half-chair), chair, and chair conformations, respectively. The quinolizidinium and quinolizidine moieties have planar and cis configurations, respectively. The title compound was obtained from ..delta../sup 5/-dehydrosparteine, the product of mercuric acetate dehydrogenation of sparteine at room temperature. From /sup 13/C NMR measurements in /sup 2/H/sub 2/O and in DMSO/sup 2/H/sub 6/ it is evident that, in solution, the molecular geometry with chair/chair cis-ring fusion within the quinolizidine moiety is present, as was in the crystalline state by X-ray analysis.
