Abstract top

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C13H10N)2[PtCl6]·2C2H6OS, contains one independent protonated phenanthridinium cation, half of a centrosymmetric [PtCl6]2-anion and one dimethyl sulfoxide solvent molecule. Intramolecular N-H...O and intermolecular C-H...Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.

Comment top

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in proton transfer systems and their structures (Zafar et al., 2000; Abedi et al., 2008). Several proton transfer systems using H2[PtCl6] with proton acceptor molecules, such as [HpyBr-3]2[PtCl6].2H2O, (II), and [HpyI-3]2[PtCl6].2H2O, (III), (Zordan et al., 2005), [BMIM]2[PtCl6], (IV), and [EMIM]2[PtCl6], (V), (Hasan et al., 2001), {(DABCO)H2[PtCl6]}, (VI), (Juan et al.,1998), {p-C6H4(CH2ImMe)2[PtCl6]}, (VII), (Li & Liu, 2003), [het][PtCl6].2H2O, (VIII), (Hu et al., 2003), [9-MeGuaH]2[PtCl6].2H2O, (IX), (Terzis & Mentzafos, 1983), [HpyCl-3]3[PtCl6]Cl, (X), (Zordan et al., 2004), [2,9-dmphen.H]2[PtCl6], (XI), (Yousefi et al., 2007), [H2DA18C6][PtCl6].2H2O, (XII), (Yousefi et al., 2007a), [2,6-dmpy.H]2[PtCl6], (XIII), (Amani et al., 2008), [TBA]3[PtCl6]Cl, (XIV), (Yousefi et al., 2007b) and [2,4,6-dmpy.H]2[PtCl6], (XV), (Kalateh et al., 2008) [where hpy is halo-pyridinium, BMIM+ is 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, EMIM+ is1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, DABCO is 1,4-diazabicyclooctane, Im is imidazolium, het is 2-(α-hydroxyethyl) thiamine, 9-MeGuaH is 9-methylguaninium, 2,9-dmphen.H is 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium, H2DA18C6 is 1,10-Diazonia-18-crown-6,2,6-dmpy.H is 2,6-dimethylpyridinium, TBA is tribenzylammonium and 2,4,6-dmpy.H is 2,4,6-dimethylpyridinium] 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).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound (I), (Fig. 1) contains one independent protonated phenanthridinium cation and one half PtCl2-6 anion, and one dimethyl sulfoxide solvate. The Pt ion has an octahedral coordination (Table 1). In cation, the bond lengths and angles are normal. In PtCl2-6 anion, the Pt—Cl bond lengths and Cl—Pt—Cl bond angles are also within normal ranges, as in (III) to (XV).

The intramolecular N—H···O and intermolecular C—H···Cl hydrogen bonding interactions (Table 1) seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, (I), a solution of phenanthridine (0.27 g,1.48 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml) was added to a solution of H2PtCl6.6H2O, (0.38 g, 0.74 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml) at room temperature. The suitable crystals for X-ray diffraction experiment were obtained by ethanol diffusion in a solution of orange precipitated in DMSO after one week [yield; 0.51 g, 74.7%, m.p. < 573 K].

Refinement top

The C-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 Å and C—H 0.96 Å, and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (ring C) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq (methyl C). The N-bound H-atom was found from a difference Fourier map and refined freely. In the final Fourier map, the highest and deepest peaks were located 1.13 and 0.47 Å from atom S1, respectively.

Special details top

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles

Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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.
