Abstract top

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {(C12H9N2)[SbCl4]·CH3OH}n, comprises a 1,10-phenanthrolinium cation, a tetrachloridoantimonate anion and a methanol solvent molecule. Centrosymmetrically-related anions are linked by short Sb...Cl intermolecular contacts into [Sb2Cl8]2- dimeric units to form one-dimensional polymeric chains running parallel to the a axis. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-H...Cl and N-H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions.

Comment top

The acceptor ability of SbF3 towards neutral ligands has been previously investigated. Adducts with bi- and tri-dentate nitrogen donor atoms such as 1,10-phenanthroline have been obtainted (Bertazzi et al., 1983), but the corresponding complex of SbCl3 has not yet been reported. As a contribution to the chemistry of antimony complexes with neutral ligands, we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.

The title compound, {C12H9N2+.SbCl4-.CH3OH}n (Fig.1), consists of tetrachloroantimonate(III) anions, 1,10-phenanthrolinium cations and methanol solvent molecules. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related anions are linked by short intermolecular Sb1···Cl2i and Cl1···Sb1ii contacts [symmetry codes: (i) 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z; (ii) 2 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z] into [Sb2Cl8]2- dianions made up from two octahedra sharing a common edge, forming one-dimensional polymeric chains running parallel to the a axis. The cis and trans Cl—Sb—Cl bond angles within the distorted octahedral coordination geometry about Sb are in the range 81.90 (3)–99.14 (3)° and 171.36 (4)–178.83 (3)°, respectively. The Sb—Cl distances also vary with the role they play in the structure, the terminal Sb1—Cl3 [2.3970 (11) Å] and Sb1—Cl4 [2.4248 (11) Å] bonds being shorter than those involving the bridging Cl atoms which range from 2.5375 (11) Å to 2.7890 (12) Å. The crystal structure is further stabilized by O—H···Cl and N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, Table 1).

Experimental top

Antimony trichloride (0.5 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (20 ml) and 1,10-phenanthroline (0.5 mmol) was added with stirring at room temperature. The resulting orange-red solution was allowed to react for five hours and was then filtered. Orange crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a methanol/dichloromethane (1:2 v/v) solution over a period of two weeks (yield 85%. m.p. 400k). Anal. Calcd (%) for C13H13Cl4N2OSb (Mr = 476.80): C, 32.75; H, 2.75; N, 5.88. Found (%): C, 32.81; H, 2.71; N, 5.81.

Refinement top

The H atom bound to N1 was located in a difference map and refined with a distance restraint (N—H = 0.86 (2) Å). All other H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å, O—H = 0.82 Å, and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, O) or 1.5 Ueq(C) for the methyl group.
