Hemi(piperazinediium) hexaaquaaluminium(III) bis(sulfate) tetrahydrate: a redetermination at 100 K
The reaction of aluminium(III) sulfate with piperazinediium pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate, (pipzH2)(pydc), where pipz is piperazine and pydcH2 is pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, in aqueous solution leads to the formation of the title complex, (C4H12N2)1/2[Al(H2O)6](SO4)2·4H2O. The crystal structure of this compound has been published previously [Bataille (2003), Acta Cryst. C59, m459-m461], and our report is a redetermination of the structure at 100 K. As previously observed, intermolecular O-H
O and N-H
O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of a three-dimensional network and a supramolecular structure.
A solution of Al2(SO4)3.18H2O (333 mg, 0.5 mmol) in water (10 ml) was added to an aqueous solution of the proton-transfer compound (pipzH2)(pydc) (Aghabozorg et al., 2006) (506 mg, 2 mmol) in water (20 ml). Colorless crystals of (I) were obtained after allowing the mixture to stand for seven weeks at room temperature.
All H atoms were located in difference Fourier maps but they were treated in the refinement as riding on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C or N). H or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R– factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In this work, our goal was the generation of the self-assembling coordination compound using a self-assembling ligand. The structure of the Al(III) complex was reported recently (Bataille, 2003), but the goal and method of synthesis were completely different from ours. The data collection temperature in our work was 100 K, whereas, the previous work was conducted at room temperature. For our complex, the final R value was 0.0237, whereas in the reported structure it was 0.0384. In the present study the measured reflections was 4639, while in the earlier work it was 2991.
As previously observed (Bataille, 2003), the structure of (I) consists of Al3+ ions octahedrally coordinated to six water molecules, together with sulfate tetrahedra, piperazinium cations (lying about inversion centres) and non-bonded water molecules, linked by hydrogen bonds only (Fig. 1, Table 1). All the O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds build up a three dimensionnal network as previously reported (Table 1).
