In the title compound, [Cr(C15H10O2)(CO)3], the Cr(CO)3 unit exhibits a three-legged piano-stool conformation. The chromium metal centre is coordinated by the phenyl ring of the flavone ligand [Cr—(phenyl centroid) distance = 1.709 (1) Å]. The ligand is approximately planar, the dihedral angles between the γ-pyrone ring and the phenyl ring and between the γ-pyrone and the phenyl­ene ring being 2.91 (5) and 3.90 (5)°, respectively. The mol­ecular packing shows ππ stacking between the flavone ligands of neighbouring mol­ecules.

Flavanoids are an extensive group of polyphenolic compounds that occur commonly in plants. Many flavonoids are known to show biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal properties (Rice-Evans & Packer., 2003) The steric influence from a Cr(CO)3 moiety combined with the electronic alteration of an arene ring, via metal coordination, made the tricarbonyl(arene)chromium complexes very popular intermediates in regioselective organic synthesis (Dominique et al., 1999).

In the course of our work on flavanoids we isolated and characterized the title compound, (I), [Cr(CO)3(C15H10O2)], where (C15H10O2) = flavone. The title compound crystallized in the triclinic space group P-1, with Z = 2 (Fig.1). The chromium metal centre coordinated to the phenyl ring of the flavone moiety and together with the tricarbonyl group a three-legged piano-stool conformation is exhibited. The Cr—C(arene) distances range from 2.209 (2) to 2.225 (2) Å and the chromium metal centre is displaced by 1.709 (1) Å from the B-η6-coordinated arene ring centre. The carbonyl groups are fairly linear with Cr—C(carbonyl)—O angles ranging from 179.0 (2) to 179.4 (2)°. The Cr—C(carbonyl) bonds of Cr—C11, Cr—C12 and Cr—C13 are 1.847 (2), 1.844 (2) and 1.842 (2) Å respectively. While the carbonyl distances of C11—O1, C12—O2 and C13—O3 are 1.153 (3), 1.155 (3) and 1.153 (3) respectively. These carbonyl distances are well within the normal range, see Allen (2002).

The phenyl ring of the flavone backbone is essentialy planar (r.m.s of fitted atoms C1'-C6' = 0.0083 Å). The γ-pyrone and the benzene ring of the flavone skeleton is in the same plane as the phenyl ring. A small molecular disorder is displayed by the dihedral angle of 2.91° between the γ-pyrone and the phenyl ring and the torsion angle of -178.78 (15)° formed by atoms C2'-C1'-C2—O5. The benzene ring is lifted out of the molecular plane, with a 3.90 (5)° dihedral angle between the γ-pyrone and the benzene ring. Other molecular geometrical parameters is in good agreement with literature values, see Allen (2002). Selected geometrical parameters is presented in Table 1.

The molecular packing displays two types of ligand to ligand π-π stacking. This is on opposite sides of the 2-phenylchromane backbone (Fig.2). One type of packing is where the tricarbonyl-metal moieties of neighbouring molecules are directed away from one another resulting in a ligand to ligand π-π stacking between the γ-pyrone and phenyl rings, with a plane to plane distance of 3.354 Å. The other type of π-π stacking is between the γ-pyrone and benzene rings of neighbouring molecules, with a plane to plane distance of 3.418 Å, this π-π stacking is secondarily stabilized by soft contacts between O1···H5 [2.761 (3) Å] and a O1···H5—C5 angle of 129.8 (1)°.

Experimental top

A solution of flavone (1.01 g; 4.5 mmol) and Cr(CO)6 (1.0 g; 4.6 mmol; 1 eq.) in Bu2O:THF (9:1; 10 ml per 100 mg Cr(CO)6) was degassed with argon, using standard Schlenk techniques, and refluxed (48 h) under an oxygen free atmosphere. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solvent evaporated in vacuo. Purification through flash column-chromatography yielded tricarbonyl(B-η6-flavone)chromium(0) (0.70 g; 42.9%) as an orange solid. Recrystallization from diethyl ether yielded orange crystals suitable for single-crystal diffraction data collection.

Experimental. The intensity data was collected on a Bruker Apex II CCD diffractometer using an exposure time of 10 s/frame. The 509 frames were collected with a frame width of 0.5° covering up to θ = 28° with 99.8% completeness accomplished.

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.
