Hexakis(1H-imidazole-
N3)cobalt(II) triaquatris(1H-imidazole-
N3)cobalt(II) bis(naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylate)
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(C3H4N2)6][Co(C3H4N2)3(H2O)3](C12H6O4)2, contains two halves of crystallographically independent CoII complex cations, each assuming a distorted octahedral geometry, and one uncoordinated naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylate dianion. One CoII cation is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by six imidazole molecules, while the other CoII cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by three water and three imidazole molecules. The uncoordinated naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylate dianion links both CoII complex cations via O-H
O and N-H
O hydrogen bonding. One imidazole ligand is equally disordered over two sites about a twofold rotation axis, while the coordinated N atom of the imidazole is located on the twofold rotation axis. One water O atom has site symmetry 2.
A water-ethanol solution (20 ml, 1:2) of naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxyllic acid
(0.11 g, 0.5 mmol) and sodium carbonate (0.053 g, 0.5 mmol) was refluxed for
0.5 h, then cobalt chloride hexahydrate (0.12 g, 0.5 mmol) was added to the
above solution. The reaction mixture was refluxed for a further 4 h, then
imidazole (0.10 g, 1.5 mmol) was added to the above solution and the reaction
mixture was refluxed for another 0.5 h. After cooling to room temperature the
solution was filtered. The single crystals of the title compound were obtained
from the filtrate after one week.
The N9-containing imidazole is disordered over two sites about a twofold
rotation axis, but the N9 atom is located on the twofold axis. The disordered
components were refined with a half site occupancy. In the structure
refinement, the coordinates of the N9 atom were refined by introducing an
artificial bias of 0.02 (in fraction) to its x and y parameters,
after several cycles of refinement the coordinates of the N9 atom shifted to
the initial values of (3/4, 3/4, 0.64726). Bond distances of the disordered
imidazole were restrained. Water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier
map and refined as riding in as-found relative positions with Uiso(H)
= 1.5Ueq(O). Other H atoms were placed in calculated positions with
C—H = 0.93 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å, and refined in riding mode with
Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

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. |

As part of our ongoing investigation on the nature of π-π stacking (Su & Xu, 2004; Xu et al., 2007), the title compound incorporating naphthalenedicarboxylate has recently been prepared in the laboratory and its crystal structure is reported here.
The asymmetric unit contains one uncoordinated naphthalenedicarboxylate dianion and two-halves of crystallographically independent CoII complex cations. Both CoII complexes assume distorted octahedral geometry. The Co1 atom is located on an inversion center and coordinated by six imidazole ligands, while the Co2 atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and coordinated by three water molecules and three imidazole ligands (Fig. 1). In the Co2-containing complex cation, the O2W and N9 atoms are located on the twofold rotation axis. The N9-imidazole ring is equally disordered over two sites about the twofold rotation axis, and the N9-imidazole ring is tilted with respect to the twofold axis by an angle of 12.2 (2)°, which is similar to 11.9 (5)° found in the NiII analogue (Li et al. 2008b) and 14.2 (3)° found in the MnII analogue (Li et al., 2008a). The coordination bond distances (Table 1) are significantly shorter than those found in the MnII analogue but longer than those in the NiII analogue.
The uncoordinated naphthalenedicarboxylate dianion links with both CoII complex cations via O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonding (Fig. 1 and Table 2). Two carboxyl groups are twisted with respect to the naphthalene ring system by dihedral angles of 53.6 (3)° and 48.9 (3)°, which are larger than those found in the structure of free naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (ca 40°; Derissen et al., 1979). No π-π stacking is observed between aromatic rings in the crystal structure.
