Abstract top

In the title compound, [Co(C7H5O2)2(C5H6N2)2], the CoII atom is hexacoordinated by four O atoms from two benzoate anions, and two N atoms from two 2-aminopyridine molecules, resulting in a distorted octahedral geometry. Both benzoate anions act as bidentate ligands and both 2-aminopyridine molecules are coordinated to the metal through their pyridyl N atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular N-H...O hydrogen bonds, C-H...[pi], and [pi]-[pi] stacking interactions involving benzoate anions and 2-aminopyridine molecules.

Comment top

In recent years the study of crystal structures and properties of cobalt complexes based on carboxyl ligand, owing to their novel geometries and magnetic behaviours, have attracted chemists (Tan et al., 2003; Zheng et al., 2004; Wang et al., 2004; Shi et al., 2004) to explore their use. The structures of the mixed ligand complexes containing benzoate as the most simple aromatic carboxyl compoud with well antibacterial activity and 2-aminopyridine reported by (Kozlevčar et al., 2001; Zhu, Usman et al., 2003; Zhu, Shao et al., 2004). Herein, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of mixed ligands cobalt(II) complex.

The stucture of the title compound (I) is isostructural with the nickel (I) complex (Zhu, Shao et al., 2003) with the CoII atom hexa-coordinated by four O atoms of two benzoato anions, and two independent pyridine N atoms from two 2-aminopyridine molecules in distorted octahedral geometry (Fig. 1). The Co—N bond lengths of 2.1030 (14) Å and 2.1054 (14) Å, the Co—O distances ranging from 2.0363 (13) to 2.4016 (15) Å, are in the normal range. The close carboxylato distances O1—C8 and O2—C8, 1.260 (2) Å and 1.250 (2) Å, O3—C1 and O4—C1, 1.241 (2) Å and 1.274 (2) Å reveal the bidentate benzoato function. The molecules are held together by intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, C—H···π and π–π stacking interactions generating three-dimensional supramolecular network.The amide N2 and N4 donate H atoms to the carboxyl O atoms O1and O4 in intramolecular N2—H2A···O1 and N4—H4A···O4 hydrogen bonds. The N2 and N4 also donate H atoms to O2 and O3 to form intermolecular N2—H2B···O2 and N4—H4B···O3 hydrogen bonds. Intermolecular C—H···π interation is pronounced in this crystal structure involving methyl group C13 of the benzoato and the pyridyl rings N1→C24, with the distance 2.95 Å between the methyl hydrogen and the centroid of the nearest aromatic ring. In addition, π–π stacking interactions are also observed; the distance between centroids of the pyridyl ring N3→C19 and the aromatic ring C2→C7 is 3.7145 (16) Å (Table 1, Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The reagents available commercially were used without further purification. Co(NO3)2.6H2O (0.5 mmol), benzoate sodium (1 mmol) and 2-aminopyridine (1 mmol) were mixed in solution containing 8 ml of ethanol and 8 ml of water. After stirring 1.5 h, the mixture was placed in 25 ml Teflon-lined reactor and heated at 383 K in an oven for 7 days. The resulting solution was filtered and the filtrate was allowed to stay at ambience temperature. Well shaped purple crystals suitable for X-rays diffraction were obtained after two weeks. Yield: 78%.

Refinement top

All the H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with N—H, C—H distances of 0.86 Å, 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C or N).

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.
