Abstract top

The asymmetric unit of the title complex salt, (C12H11ClN5)[RuCl4(NO)(C2H6OS)]·H2O, contains a 6-(2-chlorobenzylamino)purinium cation, a tetrachlorido(dimethyl sulfoxide)nitrosylruthenate(III) anion and one solvent water molecule. The RuIII atom is octahedrally coordinated by four Cl atoms in the equatorial plane, and by a dimethyl sulfoxide O atom and a nitrosyl N atom in axial positions. The cation is an N3-protonated N7 tautomer. Intermolecular N-H...N hydrogen bonds connect two cations into centrosymmetric dimers, with an N...N distance of 2.821 (4) Å. The crystal structure also involves N-H...O, N-H...Cl and O-H...Cl hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

As a part of our systematic study of Ru(III) complexes involving substituted 6-benzylaminopurines, we have prepared the title complex salt, (I), Fig. 1. The structure comprises a 6-(2-chlorobenzylamino)purin-3-ium cation, a [tetrachloro(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)(nitrosyl-κN)]ruthenate(III) anion and one water molecule of crystallization. The cation exists as the N3-protonated N7 tautomer and contains three different aromatic rings: benzene, pyrimidine (A) and imidazole (B). The A and B rings are nearly co-planar forming a dihedral angle of 1.49 (1)°, while the angle between the benzene ring and purine skeleton (rings A + B) is 85.95 (7)°. The bond lengths and angles in the cation of (I) are similar to those found for 6-(3-chlorobenzylamino)purinium chloride (Maloň et al., 2001), 6-(4-chlorobenzylamino)purinium perchlorate (Maloň et al., 2002), 6-(4-methoxybenzylamino)purinium chloride (Trávníček et al., 2004), 6-(3-methoxybenzylamino)purinium chloride monohydrate (Trávníček et al., 2005), 6-(3-bromobenzylamino)purinium chloride (Trávníček et al., 2006) and 6-(4-hydroxybenzylamino)purinium chloride (Trávníček et al., 2007). Suprisingly, only nine Ru complexes having a RuCl4NO coordination geometry have been structurally characterized up to now and deposited in the CSD (Cambridge Structural Database, Version 5.29; Allen, 2002). Moreover, the title complex salt represents only the second X-ray structure determined involving a Ru(NO-κN)Cl4(DMSO-κO) moiety.

The geometry about the RuIII atom can be described as a distorted octahedron, as can be seen from the following angles: Cl2-Ru1-Cl4 (174.92 (3)°), Cl3-Ru1-Cl5 (172.39 (3)°), and O1-Ru1-N2 (178.16 (12)°). The N-bonded nitrosyl group occupies a position trans to the O-coordinated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The Ru–Cl, Ru–N and Ru–O bond lengths of 2.3585 (9)-2.3798 (8), 1.703 (3), and 2.042 (2) Å, respectively, are close to those found for [(DMSO)2H][trans-RuCl4(NO)(DMSO-κO)] (2.356 (2)-2.373 (2), 1.712 (5), and 2.029 (3) Å, respectively) (Serli et al., 2002).

The O—H···Cl, N—H···Cl, N–H···O and N—H···N hydrogen bonds in (I) contribute to the stabilization of the secondary structure (Table 1, Figs. 2 and 3). Non-bonding interactions of the type C17···C11xi (3.3914 (5) Å), C17···Cl6xi (3.3825 (4) Å), C17—H17A···O3xii (C···O = 3.4419 (5) Å), C16—H16C···Cl3vii (C···Cl = 3.5709 (6) Å) are also present [symmetry codes: xi: 1-x, 0.5+y, 0.5-z; xii: 1.5-x, 0.5+y, z; vii: -0.5+x, y, 0.5-z]. The periodic alternation of anionic and cationic layers in the ac plane can be seen from Fig. 3.

Experimental top

The title complex salt, (I), was prepared by mixing of an ethanolic suspension (2 ml) of 6-(2-chlorobenzylamino)purine and an ethanolic solution (3 ml) of [(DMSO)2H][RuCl4NO(DMSO-κO)] (DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide) in a molar ratio of 2:1. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 min. After this time, a violet solution formed which was left to stand at room temperature. Violet crystals, suitable for single-crystal X-ray analysis, were deposited after slow evaporation of the solvent over a period of two days.

Refinement top

All H atoms were located in difference maps and refined using a riding model, with C–H distances of 0.95 and 0.99 Å, N–H distances of 0.88 Å, and with Uiso(H) values of 1.2Ueq(C,N). The O–H atoms were refined freely, see Table 1 for distances. The highest unassigned difference Fourier peak of 1.25 e Å-3 is located 0.84 Å from the Ru1 atom.

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.
