N)bis(tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolato-
S)chromium(II) toluene solvateIn the title chromium silanethiolate, [Cr(C12H27O3SSi)2(C7H9N)2]·C7H8, the CrII atom is coordinated by two S and two N atoms in a distorted square-planar geometrical arrangement. The mononuclear molecule lies on a twofold axis that passes through the pyridine N atoms. The toluene solvent molecule is equally disordered about a twofold axis.
The synthesis was carried out under an atmosphere of nitrogen, using standard Schlenk techniques. Solvents and the amine were purified and dried by standard methods (Perrin & Armarego, 1988). The substrate (tBuO)3SiSNa was prepared according to literature methods (Piękoś & Wojnowski, 1962; Wojnowska & Wojnowski, 1974). The title compound was synthesized by addition of the CrCl2 solution (0.143 g, 1.16 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) to (tBuO)3SiSNa solution (0.833 g, 2.7 mmol) in toluene (10 ml) and stirring for 1 h.
3,5-Dimethylpyridine (0,267 g, 0.28 ml, 2.5 mmol) was subsequently added to the solution and stirred for next 12 h. After that the mixture was concentrated and cooled (250 K) to afford light-blue crystals.
All C–H hydrogen atoms were refined as riding on carbon atoms with methyl C–H = 0.98 Å, aromatic C–H = 0.95 Å and Uĩso(H)=1.2 Ueq(C) for aromatic CH and 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups.
The toluene molecule was allowed to refine off the twofold axis. The aromatic ring was refined as a rigid hexagon of 1.39 Å sides. The phenyl–methyl distance was restrained to 1.50±0.01 Å.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

The large development of transition-metal silanethiolate chemistry results from its potential to form new types of complexes with interesting chemical properties. These complexes may be used in model studies on structural and catalytic metal centers in proteins (Becker et al. 2002; Dołęga et al. 2008). Here we present the synthesis and molecular structure of the chromium(II), tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolate complex [Cr(C12H27O3SSi)2(C7H9N)2] C7H8.The crystal structure of the title compound (I) is one of the few structurally defined four-coordinate CrII thiolate complexes (Dorfman et al. 1985; Ciborska et al. 2008). This complex was obtained as light-blue crystals in the reaction of anhydrous CrII chloride with sodium tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolate and 3,5-dimethylpyridine. The CrII ion is coordinated by two S atoms from the tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolate ligands and two N atoms from the 3,5-dimethylpyridine molecules. The trans angles of the square base are then described by S—Cr—S and N—Cr—N, which are very close to 180°. The Cr—S bond lengths in (I) are very similar to the corresponding values of ca 2.4 Å observed in the other silanethiolates (Ciborska et al.2007). The Cr—N bond lengths are like these found in the [Cr(C12H27O3SSi)2(C6H15N)2]. Selected data of important bond lengths and angles are compared in Table 1.
