2N,N')(sulfato-
O)magnesium(II)In the title compound, [Mg(SO4)(C12H8N2)(H2O)3], the MgII centre exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment defined by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline molecule, one O atom from a sulfate dianion and three meridionally arranged O atoms from coordinated water molecules. The crystal structure involves intra- and intermolecular O-H
O hydrogen bonds.
1,10-phenanthroline (0.05 g, 0.25 mmol) was dissolved in a water-DMF mixture (1:1 v/v, 50 ml), and MgSO4 × 7 H2O (0.06 g, 0.25 mmol) was added to the solution. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h and filtered. Colorless single crystals of (I) were obtained from the solution after several weeks.
The carbon-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The O-bound H atoms were located in a difference map and refined with a distance restraint of 0.85 (1) Å and the constraint Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

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. |

1,10-Phenanthroline (phen) is one of the most commonly used aromatic N,N' chelating ligands and has in form of several functionalized derivatives been widely used in the construction of supramolecular architectures.
Copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) derivatives of phen have been reported (Xu et al., 2003; Zhang et al. 1999).
As a continuation of these studies, we now report the crystal structure of the title complex, (I).
As illustrated in Fig. 1, the Mg(II) ion is surrounded by two N atoms from the phen ligand and four O atoms from three meridionally arranged H2O molecules and one sulfato group to form distorted MgN2O4 octahedron. The Mg—O and Mg—N bond lengths are in the noramal range of 2.033 (1)–2.086 (1) and 2.210 (1)–2.234 (2) Å, respectively. The units are connected by O—H···O hydrogen bonds to produce a complex three dimensional supramolecular network, shown in figure 2.
