To 4.0 g (20 mmol) of bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine in 15 ml of ethanol was added drop-wise 6.0 g (40 mmol) of 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde in 10 ml of ethanol. The deep yellow solution was left to stir for half an hour and a crystalline product resulted (H2L). To 0.85 g of H2L dissolved in 10.0 ml of methanol was added 0.58 g of Fe(BF4)2.xH2O. The solution became violet and a red-purple solid precipitated. This was stirred overnight, the solid filtered, washed with methanol and dried to give 1.65 g of a red powder. Crystallization was effected by slow evaporation of a DMF solution of the complex.
The structure contains a disordered BF4 anion with one unique F and the remaining three F atoms being disordered over two positions with multiplicities of 0.53 (2) and 0.47 (2). These were refined anisotropically in idealized geometry with the group B—F distances restrained. The H atoms were idealized with C—H distances of 0.93 (aromatic C—H), 0.96 (CH3), and 0.97 (CH2) Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (1.5Ueq(C) for the CH3 protons).
Metal complexes of hexadentate ligands have fascinated inorganic chemists since their first report in 1947 (Dwyer & Lions, 1947). The first such report of a Fe complex of a linear FeN4O2 ligand (i.e. where the donor atoms are linked in a linear chain) derived from the Schiff base condensation of salicylaldehyde and triethylenetetraamine was in 1955 (Das Sarma & Bailar, 1955). However, this interest lapsed for several years until the discovery that some of these complexes exhibited spin-crossover magnetic behavior (Sinn et al., 1978). While there have been numerous reports of complexes with a FeN4O2 chromophore based on Schiff base condensations of tetramines with derivatives of salicylaldehyde, there have been no reports of such complexes based on the tetramine, bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine.
The title compound, bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-3-aminopropylpiperazineiron(III) tetrafluoroborate (I), resulted from mixing iron(II) tetrafluoroborate with the product resulting from the Schiff base condensation of bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine with 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde. The cation contains a six-coordinate FeN4O2 chromophore exhibiting markedly distorted octahedral geometry. This distortion is most noticeable in the fact that the largest trans angle is only 155.73 (14)°. The main factor in this unusual geometry is the small bite angle subtended by the central piperazine ring where the distance between the two N's is only 2.454 (5) Å. The piperazine ring has adopted a chair conformation so that both N donors can coordinate to the Fe. There are also weak C—H···F interactions between the BF4 anion and the cation.

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 > σ(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. |

Metal complexes of hexadentate ligands have fascinated inorganic chemists since their first report in 1947 (Dwyer & Lions, 1947). The first such report of a Fe complex of a linear FeN4O2 ligand (i.e. where the donor atoms are linked in a linear chain) derived from the Schiff base condensation of salicylaldehyde and triethylenetetraamine was in 1955 (Das Sarma & Bailar, 1955). However, this interest lapsed for several years until the discovery that some of these complexes exhibited spin-crossover magnetic behavior (Sinn et al., 1978). While there have been numerous reports of complexes with a FeN4O2 chromophore based on Schiff base condensations of tetramines with derivatives of salicylaldehyde, there have been no reports of such complexes based on the tetramine, bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine.
The title compound, bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-3-aminopropylpiperazineiron(III) tetrafluoroborate (I), resulted from mixing iron(II) tetrafluoroborate with the product resulting from the Schiff base condensation of bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine with 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde. The cation contains a six-coordinate FeN4O2 chromophore exhibiting markedly distorted octahedral geometry. This distortion is most noticeable in the fact that the largest trans angle is only 155.73 (14)°. The main factor in this unusual geometry is the small bite angle subtended by the central piperazine ring where the distance between the two N's is only 2.454 (5) Å. The piperazine ring has adopted a chair conformation so that both N donors can coordinate to the Fe. There are also weak C—H···F interactions between the BF4 anion and the cation.
