-(E)-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene-
2N:N'] bis(4-aminobenzenesulfonate) hexahydrate]In the title compound, {[Co(C12H10N2)(H2O)2](C6H6NO3S)2·6H2O}n, a cobalt coordination polymer, the repeat unit comprises a cobalt complex cation, two 4-aminobenzenesulfonate anions and six uncoordinated water molecules. In the doubly charged cobalt cation, each Co atom lies on a center of symmetry and is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry formed by four O atoms of four coordinated water molecules, and two N atoms from two (E)-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe) ligands. The bpe ligands bridge the Co atoms, forming a one-dimensional linear chain. Intermolecular O-H
O, O-H
N and N-H
O hydrogen-bonding interactions stabilize this chain structure.
A 10 ml water solution of Co(Cl)2·6H2O (0.238 g,1 mmol) was dropped into 10 ml me thanol solution of (E)-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (0.182 g,1 mmol) and 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid (0.346 g, 2 mmol) and then the mixture was stirred for 5 h at 343 K·The filtrate was stayed in air for about two weeks to obtain red block-shaped crystals. Analysis, found (%): C 39.42, H 5.15, N 7.71, S 8.82. C24H38CoN4O14S2 requires(%): C 39.47, H 5.21, N 7.67, S 8.77. [CCDC: 656072].
H atoms bonded to C and N were positioned geometrically with C—H distance of 0.93Å and N—H of 0.86 Å, respectively, and treated as riding atoms, with Uiso(H) =1.2Ueq(C or N). The O—H hydrogen atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically, with O—H distance in the range of 0.8250–1.0288 Å.

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. |

In the previous literatures, the complexes containing 4-aminobenzenesulfonate as monodentate ligand (Du & Li, 2007., Gunderman et al., 1996; Huang et al., 2004; Starynowicz, 1992) have been reported. In our paper, we describe another new compound (I) in which 4-aminobenzenesulfonate does not participate in coordination, (Fig. 1).
Compound (I) is a Co coordination polymer and the structural unit is comprised of a cobalt complex cation, two 4-aminobenzenesulfonate anions and six uncoordinated water molecules.
In the doubly charged cobalt cation, each Co symmetrical center has distorted octahedral geometry, formed by four O atoms of four coordinated water molecules, two N atoms from two (E)-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe) ligands (Table 1). The bpe ligand plays as a bridging ligand linking neighbouring CoII atoms into a one-dimensional linear chain with the Co1···Co1(−x + 1, y, z) separation distance of 13.435 (2) Å.
4-Aaminobenzenesulfonate anions here does not take part in coordination but involve in intermolecular hydrogen bonds with coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules (Table 2). The chain structure is stabilized via these hydrogen bonding interactions and as well as electrostatic force (Fig. 2).
