3O,O',O'')chromium(III) dihydrateIn the title compound, [Cr(C6H7N4S2)(C6H4O7)(H2O)]·2H2O, the CrIII atom is in a distorted octahedral environment, coordinated by one water molecule, two N atoms from a protonated diaminobithiazole ligand and three O atoms from a citrate(4-) anion. The complex is zwitterionic, with the H atom from the uncoordinated carboxylate group of the citrate anion transferred to one amino group of the diaminobithiazole ligand. O-H
O and N-H
O hydrogen bonds link the complexes into layers including the two uncoordinated water molecules.
An ethanol solution (20 ml) containing DABT (0.20 g 1 mmol) and CrCl3.6H2O (0.27 g 1 mmol) was mixed with an aqueous solution (10 ml) of citric acid (0.19 g 1 mmol) and NaOH (0.12 g 3 mmol). The mixture was refluxed for 6 h. After cooling to room temperature the solution was filtered. Single crystals were obtained from the filtrate after 2 d.
H atoms on C atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic) or C—H = 0.97 (methylene), and were included in the final cycles of refinement in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms of the amino group of DABT, coordinated water and lattice water were located in difference Fourier maps and included in the final cycles of refinement in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N) and 1.5Ueq(O). H atoms of the ammonium group were visible in a difference Fourier map, but placed geometrically and allowed to rotate about the C—N bond during the final cycles of refinement.

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. |

Transition-metal complexes of 2,2'-diamino-4,4'-bi-1,3-thiazole (DABT) have shown potential application in some fields: for example, a CoII complex and a NiII complex with DABT have been found to be effective inhibitors of DNA synthesis of tumor cell (Waring, 1981; Fisher et al., 1985). The title CrIII complex forms part of a series of structural investigations of metal complexes with DABT.
The complex (Figure 1) displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry formed by a protonated DABT molecule, one citrate anion and one coordinated water molecule. The citrate anion coordinates to CrIII in a tridentate manner through O atoms of two carboxyl groups and one hydroxyl group. The complex is zwitterionic, with the H atom from the non-coordinated carboxyl group of the citrate anion transferred to one of the amino groups of the DABT ligand.
The thiazole rings of DABT are approximately coplanar (dihedal angle 3.3 (3)°). The C—N(thiazole ring) [N23—C26 = 1.321 (6), N21—C23 = 1.328 (6) Å] and C—N(amino) bonds [N24—C26 = 1.328 (7), N22—C23 1.314 (7) Å] are approximately equal, suggesting the existence of electron delocalization between amino group and thiazole rings. The central C—C bond distance of 1.456 (7) Å in the DABT ligand suggests that a C—C single bond is formed between the sp2 hybridised C atoms of the thiazole rings.
Extensive hydrogen bonding occurs in the crystal. All lattice water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The amino groups of DABT are hydrogen bonded to adjacent coordinated oxygen or lattice water (Fig. 1) via N—H···O hydrogen bonds to form a layered structure parallel to the (011) planes.
