Bis([mu]-pyridine-1-carbaldehyde azine-[kappa]2N,N':[kappa]N'')disilver(I) bis(p-toluenesulfonate)

Abstract top

The title compound, [Ag2(C12H10N4)2](p-CH3C6H4SO3)2, features a centrosymmetric dication and T-shaped AgN3 coordination geometry, as each ligand is tridentate, forming a bond to one Ag atom and chelating the other. The p-toluenesulfonate anion accepts a weak Ag...O contact [2.5023 (14) Å], as well as forming C-H...O interactions. The crystal structure comprises layers, stabilized by C-H...O contacts and connected by C-H...[pi] interactions.

Comment top

The title compound, [Ag2(C12H10N4)2](p-CH3C6H4SO3)2 or [Ag(2—PA)]2[(p-tol)SO3]2 (I), was investigated as a part of an on-going study of the structural chemistry of Ag salts of isomeric n-pyridinealdazine molecules, n = 2, 3 and 4 (Broker & Tiekink, 2007). The centrosymmetric dication adopts a ring structure as the two Ag atoms are bridged by two tridentate 2-PA molecules, each forming a single bond to one Ag atom and a chelating interaction to the other (Fig. 1 & Table 1). Within the chelate, the Ag–Nazo bond distance is significantly shorter than the Ag–Npyridine bond; the coordination geometry around each Ag atom is T-shaped. The [(p-tol)SO3] anion forms a close contact with Ag, i.e. Ag···O2 = 2.5023 (14) Å.

The dinuclear cation in (I) has three precedents in the literature, namely in the [CF3SO3] (Hamblin et al., 2002), [NO3] (Kennedy et al., 2005) and [CH3SO3] (Broker & Tiekink, 2007) salts for which similar ring structures have been reported. By contrast, in the [BF4] salt, characterized as an acetonitrile solvate, a polymeric structure is observed instead due to a rotation of one of the pyridine rings (Guo et al., 2002); in this case, the 2-PA ligand is tetradentate forming two chelate rings.

The global crystal packing in (I) is based on the stacking of layers along the c-direction as illustrated in Fig. 2. Thus, the tosylate-O1 and O3 atoms connect dinuclear cations into layers in the ab-plane via C—H···O interactions (Table 2); the O2 atom accepts an intramolecular C—H···O contact exclusively. The primary interactions between layers appear to be of the type C—H···π, i.e. C17—H···Cg(N4, C8—C12) = 2.69 Å, with an angle at H17 of 133° for symmetry operation (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z).

Experimental top

[Ag(p-tol)SO3] (Aldrich, 0.05 g, 0.18 mmol) was dissolved in CH3CN (20 ml) and layered on top of a CH2Cl2 solution (20 ml) containing (0.04 g, 0.18 mmol) of 2-pyridinealdazine (Aldrich). After three days, yellow prisms of (I) were observed at the interface between the two layers; m.p. 493–495 K.

Refinement top

All the H atoms were included in the riding-model approximation, with C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

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 > 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.
