Abstract top

In the title complex, [Ni(C4N3)2(C15H11N3)]n, each of the two different NiII atoms is coordinated by one 2,2':6'2''-terpyridine (terpy) and three tricyanomethanide ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. The NiII atoms are linked to each other, forming an infinite chain parallel to (\overline{1}10). [pi]-[pi] Stacking interactions of terpy molecules between adjacent chains (centroid-centroid distance = 3.785 Å), along with weak intermolecular C-H...N hydrogen bonds involving the uncoordinated terminal N atoms of the tricyanomethanide ions and the terpyridine H atoms, result in the formation of a three-dimensional network structure.

Comment top

Recently, coordination polymers assembled by tricyanomethanide (tcm) have attracted considerable interest bacause of their novel structure characteristics and fascinating magnetic properties (Batten et al., 2003; Miller et al., 2001; Feyerherm et al., 2003). To our knowledge, most binary tcm complexes display a rutile-like structure (Manson et al., 2000, 1998; Hoshino et al., 1999; Feyerherm et al., 2004), except that a doubly interpenetrated (6,3) sheet was observed in Ag(tcm)2 (Abrahams et al., 2003). To clarify the structure-properties relationship of tcm complexes, diverse co-ligands such as hexamethylenetetramine, 4,4-bipyridyl, 1,2-bi(4-pyridyl)ethane were introduced and the structures as well as magnetic properties of the adjusted complexes have been systematically investigated. Among the Cu(I) or Cd(II) tcm complexes with these co-ligands, numerous structure types range from doubly interpenetrated (4,4) sheet to three-dimensional rutile networks were observed (Batten et al., 2000, 1998). By contrast, modification of the Mn(II)-tcm binary system with 4,4-bipyridyl as co-ligands leads to the formation of a one dimensional chain-like structure (Manson et al., 2004). On the other hand, 2,2':6'2''-terpyridine (terpy) is a novel co-ligand and has three potential nitrogen donor atoms. However, only few tcm complexes with terpy as a co-ligand have ever been reported (Yuste et al., 2008). In order to further study the effect of the nature of co-ligands on the structures and properties of tricyanomethanide complexes, we herein report the synthesis and crystal structure of the new tricyanomethanide complex [Ni(terpy)(C4N3)2]2 (I).

In (I) the asymmetric unit is built up from two nickel ions: Ni1 and Ni2. Both Ni atoms display a slightly distorted octahedral coordination with the three N atoms of the terpyridine molecule and one terminal tcm N atom forming the equatorial plane, whereas two bridging tcm N atoms are located in axial position .

The distances and angles within the two octahedrons are roughly similar within experimental error. The only significant difference appear in the bending at the N atom of terminal tcm ligand located in the equatorial plane. Indeed, the Ni2-N16-C44 angle, 167.5 (3)°, whereas the corresponding Ni1-N7-C20 angle is 177.6 (5)°. The Ni1 and Ni2 atoms are linked trough a tcm bridge and each dinuclear units are further linked trough symetry related tcm bridges to form an infinite chain structure parallel to the (-1 1 0) plane (Fig. 1).

Intermolecular C-H···N hydrogen bonding between the uncoordinated terminal N atoms of the tcm ions and the H atoms of terpyridine groups (Table 1) and π-π stacking interactions involving terpyridine rings between adjacent chains along with (Table 2), result in the formation of a three-dimensional network structure (Fig. 2).

The Ni—N(terpy) distances (1.985 (3) to 2.110 (3) Å) are almost equal to Ni—N(tcm) distances (2.014 (3) to 2.101 (3) Å), and are respectively comparable to the corresponding distances found in nickel-terpyridine (Baker et al., 1995) and nickel-tcm complexes (Luo et al., 2005; Potocnák et al., 2007).

The bond distances and angles within the terpyridine rings are in the normal ranges observed for terpyridine-containing complexes (Indumathy et al., 2007). Each tricyanomethanide moiety is almost planar and the bond distances and angles are in good agreement with those found in other tricyanomethanide complexes (Hoshino et al., 1999; Batten et al., 1999).

Experimental top

A 5 ml ethanol solution of terpyridine (0.10 mmol, 23.33 mg) and a 2 ml aqueous pale-green solution of nickel nitrate (0.10 mmol, 29.08 mg) were mixed and stirred for 5 min, the mixed solution became yellow. To the mixture was added a 3 ml ethanol-water solution (EtOH:H2O = 2:1, V:V) of potassium tricyanomethanide (0.20 mmol, 25.83 mg). After stirring for another 5 min, the yellow solution was filtered and the filtrate was slowly evaporated in air. After two weeks, pale-purple block crystals of (I) were isolated in 23% yield. Anal: Calculated for C46H22N18Ni2: C 58.52%, H 2.35%, N 26.70%. Found C 58.68%, H 2.43%, N 26.84%.

Refinement top

In (I) the terpyridine H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent C atoms with C—H distances of 0.93 Å and Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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.
