-1,2-di-4-pyridylethane-
2N:N']In the title compound, [CoCl2(C12H12N2)], the CoII atom is coordinated in a tetrahedral geometry by the N atoms of two different 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane ligands. The compound adopts a linear chain structure.
CoCl2(0.023 g, 0.012 mmol), bpp(0.021 g, 0.013 mmol) were added in a mixed solvent of methanol and benzene, the mixture was heated for ten hours under reflux. During the process stirring and influx were required. The resultant was then filtered to give a pure solution which was infiltrated by diethyl ether freely in a closed vessel, Six weeks later some single crystals was obtained.
The H atoms (pyridine ring) were placed in calculated positions [Csp2—H = 0.93 Å] and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The maximum peak hole is located on the Co1 with 1.01 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 recent years, a wide range of 1-D infinite frameworks have been generated by using simple linear bifunctional ligands (Fujita et al., 1998), such as 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy). 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) ligand is typical building element for the assembly of infinite architectures. A double-helical chain was synthesized based on transition metal salts and bpp ligand (Carlucci et al., 2003). In this paper, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title complex,(I).
As shown in Fig. 1, the complex I is connected to two bpp ligands. The CoII atom in compound I is tetrahedrally coordinatted by two N atoms of two different pyridyl groups and two chloride anions. This coordination mode of cobalt atom is very rare so far. The CoII ions are linked by bpp liagnds and form a zigzag chain. The Co—N bond lengths range from 2.036 (3) to 2.038 (3)Å (Table1). While the Co—Cl bond lengths range from 2.2399 (10) to 2.2484 (11) Å.
