Abstract top

In the molecule of the title compound, [HgI2(C24H16N2)], the HgII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral configuration by two N atoms from the bidentate 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline and two iodide ligands. There is a [pi]-[pi] contact between the pyridine and phenyl rings [centroid-to-centroid distance = 4.2387 (4) Å].

Comment top

Recently, we reported the syntheses and crystal structures of [Zn(5,5'-dmbpy)Cl2], (II), (Khalighi et al., 2008), [Zn(6-mbpy)Cl2], (III), (Ahmadi, Kalateh, Abedi et al., 2008), [Cd(5,5'-dmbpy)(µ-Cl)2]n, (IV), (Ahmadi, Khalighi et al., 2008), [Hg(5,5'-dmbpy)I2], (V), (Tadayon Pour et al., 2008), [In(4,4'-dmbpy)Cl3(DMSO)], (VI), (Ahmadi, Kalateh, Ebadi et al., 2008), [Cu(5,5'-dcbpy)(en)(H2O)2].2.5H2O, (VII), (Yousefi, Khalighi et al., 2008), [Au(dmphen)Cl2][AuCl4], (VIII), (Ahmadi, Amani et al., 2008), and {[HgCl(dm4bt)]2(µ-Cl)2}, (IX), (Khavasi et al., 2008). [where 5,5'-dmbpy is 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 6-mbpy is 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4'-dmbpy is 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bi- pyridine, DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide, 5,5'-dcbpy is 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-di- carboxylate, en is ethylenediamine, dmphen is 4,7-diphenyl-1,10- phenanthroline and dm4bt is 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-bithiazole]. There are several HgII complexes, with formula, [HgI2(N—N)], such as [HgI2(bipy)], (X), [HgI2(phen)], (XI) and [HgI2(2,9-dmphen)], (XII), (Freire et al., 1999), [HgI2(bipy)][HgI2], (XIII), (Chen et al., 2006), [HgI2(4,4'-dmbpy)], (XIV), (Yousefi, Tadayon Pour et al., 2008) and [HgI2(TMDA)], (XV), (Htoon & Ladd, 1976) [where bipy is 2,2'-bipyridine, phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, dmphen is 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and TMDA is tetramethylethylenediamine] have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).

In the title compound, (Fig. 1), the HgII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral configuration by two N atoms from 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline and two I atoms. The Hg—I and Hg—N bond lengths and angles (Table 1) are within normal ranges, as in (X), (XI) and (XIV).

In the crystal structure, the ππ contact (Fig. 2) between the pyridine and phenyl rings, Cg3···Cg4i [symmetry code: (i) 3/2 - x, -1/2 + y, 1/2 - z, where Cg3 and Cg4 are centroids of the rings (N1/C1–C3/C10/C24) and (C4–C9), respectively] may stabilize the structure, with centroid–centroid distance of 4.2387 (4) Å.

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, a solution of 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (0.36 g, 1.10 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 ml) was added to a solution of HgI2 (0.50 g, 1.10 mmol) in methanol (20 ml) and the resulting colorless solution was stirred for 20 min at 313 K. This solution was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After one week, colorless block crystals of the title compound were isolated (yield; 0.62 g, 71.6%).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
