A new cobalt(II) complex with 5-(4-pyridyl)tetrazole ligands

W.-F. Zhu and X.-F. Zhou

Abstract top

A new mononuclear cobalt(II) complex, tetraaquabis[5-(4-pyridyl)tetrazolido-[kappa]N5]cobalt(II) dihydrate, [Co(C6H4N5)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The CoII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from 5-(4-pyridyl)tetrazole ligands (L), as well as four O atoms from coordinated water molecules. The molecule is centrosymmetric, with pairs of equivalent ligands lying trans to each other in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry. A prominent feature of the complex is the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular network via O-H...O and O-H...N hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

A wide range of applications of tetrazoles have found in areas as diverse as coordination chemistry, medicinal chemistry and materials science. The study of complexes containing substituted tetrazole ligands is of interest to describe the ways in which tetrazoles bind to metal centres. However, in the title complex reported here, the substituted tetrazole ligands bind to metal centres by the N atoms from pyridyls. In this contribution, we chose 5-(4'-pyridyl)tetrazole (L) as organic ligands and synthesized a new mononuclear complex, namely (CoL2(H2O)4).H2O.

Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the vicinity of the cobalt(II) ion is constituted by two nitrogen atoms from the L ligands and four oxygen atoms from coordinated water moleculars. The molecule is centrosymmetric, so pairs of equivalent ligands lie trans to each other in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Four oxygen atoms from coordinated water moleculars occupy the four equatorial positions while two nitrogen atoms, N(1) and N(1 A) from the L ligands are in the axial sites. A diagram of the molecule is shown in Fig. 1. The complex is further connected into a three dimensional supramolecular structure via O—H···O and O—H···N hydrogen bonds, which is shown in Fig. 2.

Related literature top

The corresponding complex with manganese(II) ion as the central metal atom (Lin et al., 2005) has a similar structure to that of the title complex. For related literature, see: Detert & Schollmeier (1999).

Experimental top

The synthesis of the L ligand [L =5-(4'-pyridyl)tetrazole] was according to the previously published literature (Detert et al., 1999). A solution of CoCl2.(H2O)6 (0.0238 g, 0.1 mmol) in 10 ml water was added to the solution of L (0.0310 g, 0.2 mmol) in 5 ml water, the mixture was heated with stirring. After 3 h, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was allowed to stand in air at room temperature for several days. Red crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained. Calculated for C12H20CoN10O6: C 31.35, H 4.35, O 15.65, Co 12.83, N 30.48%; found: C 31.32, H 4.40%.

Refinement top

To obtain a better refinement result, eight atoms, namely C(1), H(1), C(2), H(2), C(4), H(4), C(5) and H(5) have been restrained, and all the distance of C—H were fixed at 0.93 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.19Ueq(C). Other hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model.
