cyclo-Tetra-[mu]-oxido-tetrakis[3-nitro-4-hydroxyphenylarsenic(III)]

N. C. Lloyd and B. K. Nicholson

Abstract top

The title compound, [As4O4(C6H4NO3)4], has an eight-membered As4O4 ring with a slightly twisted boat-chair conformation. The aryl groups complete the threefold coordination for each As atom. Each OH group forms a strong intramolecular O-H...O hydrogen bond to the adjacent NO2 group, with only weak C-H...O, O...As [3.036 (6)-3.184 (6) Å] and O...O [2.921 (10)-2.930 (10) Å] interactions between tetramers.

Comment top

Aryl arsenoxides of empirical formula RAsO exist as either hydrates RAs(OH)2 as for the 4-H2NC6H4 example (Knock et al., 1995), or as cyclic (RAsO)n where n = 4 for R = Me (DiMaio & Rheingold, 1991), Ph (Muller & Muhle, 1999), mesityl (Arif et al., 1987), or 3-F3CC6H4 (Sun et al., 2005) and n = 5 for R = Et (Hausler & Sheldrick, 1997). The title compound, [3-O2N-4-HOC6H3AsO]4, also forms an eight-membered As4O4 ring which has a slightly twisted boat-chair conformation. The aryl groups complete the 3-coordination for each As atom. Average parameters are: As—O = 1.801 (6) Å, O—As—O = 98.8 (3)° and As—O—As = 121.3 (4)°. The OH group is internally H-bonded to the adjacent NO2 group, so the intermolecular interactions between tetramers are weak C—H···O and O····As ones. There are also some short intermolecular O···O interactions involving the NO2 groups.

Related literature top

A related compound, (4-H2NC6H4)As(OH)2, was reported by Knock or Knoch et al. (1995). Other examples of cyclic (RAsO)n are n = 4 for R = Me (DiMaio & Rheingold, 1991), Ph (Muller & Muhle, 1999), mesityl (Arif et al., 1987) or 3-F3CC6H4 (Sun et al., 2005), and n = 5 for R = Et (Hausler & Sheldrick, 1997).

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by hydrolysis of the dichloride 3-O2N-4-HOC6H3AsCl2, which in turn was prepared by reduction of 3-O2N-4-HOC6H3AsO3H2 with SO2 in conc HCl. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from an aqueous solution.

Refinement top

All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.95 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic and O—H = 0.84 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O) for the OH groups. As only very small needle crystals were available, the data set was weak and so Rint and the final agreement factors are higher than usual. The highest residual electron density was 0.87Å from atom As1.
