(Received 12 June 2008; accepted 25 July 2008; online 31 July 2008)

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Co(C7H6NO2S)2(H2O)4], is a polymorph of the structure first reported by Du, Zhao & Wang [(2004). Dalton Trans, pp. 2065–2072]. The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains one half-mol­ecule; the CoII atom lies on an inversion centre in a distorted octa­hedral geometry coordinated by two N atoms of the pyridine rings of the 4-pyridylthio­acetate anions and four O atoms of water mol­ecules. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules, forming a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

Several transition metal coordination polymers that contain bridging 4-pyridylthioacetate ligands have been reported recently (Chiang et al., 1993; Du et al., 2004; Du & Li, 2006; Kondo et al., 2002). However, if the 4-pyridylthioacetate anions are coordinated only as terminal ligands there is a possibility that they may also be able to participate in a hydrogen-bonding network. As part of our efforts to investigate metal(II) complexes based on pyridyl-carboxylic acids, we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).

In the molecular structure of (I) (Fig. 1) the CoII atom lies on an inversion centre and adopts a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with the two N atoms of the pyridine rings of the 4-pyridylthioacetate anions and the four O atoms of the water molecules, where the two symmetry related 4-pyridylthioacetate ligands are in trans positions.

The bond lengths and angles may be compared with the corresponding values in the triclinic polymorph [Co(C7H6NO2S)2(H2O)4] [(II); Du et al., 2004]. In (II), the CoII atom displays similar distorted octahedral coordination geometry, but the angle between the plane through the pyridine rings and that through the four water O atoms of 87.9° is closer to a right angle than the angle of 77.8° in (I). Correspondingly, the distance between the two planes of pyridine rings in (II) is shorter (0.22 Å) than that (0.80 Å) in (I). On the other hand, complex (I) is isostructural with [Cu(C7H6NO2S)2(H2O)4] [(III); Fang et al., (2004)] and [Ni(C7H6NO2S)2(H2O)4] [(IV); Zhang et al., (2004)].

In the crystal structure, intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules to form a three-dimensional network. The molecules of (I) lying in layers parallel to the ac plane are linked by O1W–H2W···O1ii; O2W–H3W···O2ii and O2W–H4W···O2iii [Symmetry codes: (ii) -x + 2, -y + 1, -z + 1; (iii) x - 1, y, z] hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2). The hydrogen bonds between two coordinated water molecules O2W and two carboxylate groups through only one carboxylate O atom (O2) of the carboxylate group create R42(8) rings (Bernstein et al., 1995). On the other hand, both O atoms of the two carboxylate groups and two coordinated water molecules create R44(12) rings (Bernstein et al., 1995) in the triclinic polymorph (II). The hydrogen bonds O1W–H1W···O1i [Symmetry code: (i) -x + 2, y - 1/2, -z + 1/2] link the layers to form a 3-D hydrogen bonding network (Fig. 3).

Experimental top

Well shaped red crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were prepared in an H-tube. An aqueous solution of the sodium salt of 4-pyridylthioacetic acid, was placed in the first part of the H-tube, and an aqueous solution of Co(II) sulfate in the second part. Crystals formed after two weeks, whereafter they were separated and dried at room temperature (yield 70%). Anal. Calc. for C14H20CoN2O8S2: C, 35.98; H, 4.31; N, 5.99; S, 13.72; Co, 12.61.

Refinement top

All H atoms of C–H (aromatic and methylene) were placed in calculated positions (0.93 and 0.97 Å, respectively); isotropic displaced parameters were fixed [Uiso(H) = 1.2 Uiso(C) of C atoms to which they were attached] using a riding model. The water H atoms were placed in calculated positions (O–H = 0.82 Å); isotropic displacement parameters were fixed [Uiso(H) = 1.5Uiso(O)) of O atoms to which they were attached].

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.
