O)cadmium(II)]The title complex, [Cd2(NO3)4(C24H16N6)(CH4O)2], displays a centrosymmetric dinuclear structure, in which the 2,3,5,6-tetra-2-pyridinylpyrazine (tppz) ligand links two Cd ions separated by 7.323 (4) Å. Each CdII center is seven-coordinated by three N-atom donors of tppz in one plane, by two O atoms nearly normal to this plane, and by two O atoms 0.393 (3) and 0.488 (3) Å from that plane. The two CdII ions are above and below the plane of the pyrazine ring of the tppz ligand, oriented with respect to the pyridine rings at dihedral angles of 38.01 (3) and 31.90 (3)°. The dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is 41.11 (3)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-H
O hydrogen bonds link the molecules.
For the preparation of the title compound, a solution of 2,3,5,6-tetra- (2-pyridinyl)pyrazine (0.4 g, 1 mmol) in HCl3 (30 ml) was added to a solution of Cd(NO3)2.4H2O (0.62 g, 2 mmol) in methanol (200 ml) and the resulting colorless solution was stirred for 15 min at room temperature. Then, it was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After one week, colorless prismatic crystals of the title compound were isolated (yield; 0.71 g, 76.73%, m.p < 573 k).
H1B atom (for OH) was located in difference syntheses and refined isotropically [O-H = 0.92 (5) Å and Uiso(H) = 0.020 (11) Å2]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C-H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for aromatic and methyl H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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 > 2sigma(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. |

Goodwin & Lyons (1959) were reported the synthesis of 2,3,5,6-tetra- (2-pyridinyl)pyrazine (tppz). Bock et al. (1992) and Greaves & Stoeckli-Evans (1992) were determined the structure of tppz by single crystal X-ray analysis. Among many reported compounds containing tppz, most are complexes of transition metal ions, including ruthenium (Hadadzadeh et al., 2006), platinum (Sakai & Kurashima, 2003), mercury (Zhang et al., 2005), copper (Carranza et al., 2004), iron (Laine et al., 1995), nickel (Graf et al., 1997), palladium (Yamada et al., 2000) and zinc (Graf et al., 1993). For further investigation of 2,3,5,6-tetra(2-pyridinyl)pyrazine, we synthesized the title complex, and report herein its crystal structure.
The title complex is a centrosymmetric dinuclear complex, in which the tppz ligand link two Cd ions separated by 7.323 (4) Å (Fig. 1). Each CdII center is seven-coordinated by three N donors of tppz in one plane, two O atoms (O1 and O5) nearly normal to this plane (Table 1) and two O atoms -0.393 (3) Å (for O2) and -0.488 (3) Å (for O3) away from that plane. The two CdII ions are above and below the plane of the pyrazine ring B (N2/C6/C7/N2a/C6a/C7a) [symmetry code: (a) 1 - x, -y, -z] of the tppz ligand. The dihedral angles between rings A (N1/C1-C5), B and C (N3/C8-C12) are A/B = 38.01 (3)°, A/C = 41.11 (3)° and B/C = 31.90 (3)°.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) link the molecules (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
