Abstract top

The title compound, [NH3(CH2)2NH3][Mg(SO4)2(H2O)4], was synthesized by the slow evaporation method. Its crystal structure can be described as an alternate stacking of inorganic layers of tetraaquabis(sulfato-O)magnesium [Mg(SO4)2(H2O)4]2- anions (\overline1 symmetry) and organic layers of [NH3(CH2)2NH3]2+ cations along the crystallographic b axis. The anions, built up from tetrahedral SO4 units and octahedral Mg(H2O)4O2 units, and the cations are linked together through N-H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. O-H...O interactions are also present.

Comment top

Organic-inorganic hybrid materials is the subject of major interest, allowing to combines some properties of an inorganic material (or a molecule), and some properties of an organic molecule (or a polymer). This symbiosis between two worlds of chemistry too long regarded as opposites can also lead to completely new properties, and opens a wide field of investigations for the chemist. The applications of these "new" materials cover diverse areas as the properties of strength, optics, ferroelectricity and ferroelasticity, electronics and ionic solid ··· Recently, we reported some new organic-inorganic hybrid solids composed of 3d transition metal, sulfate groups and protonated diamine (Rekik et al., 2005; Naïli, et al., 2006; Rekik et al., 2007; Yahyaoui et al., 2007; Rekik et al., 2008; Rekik et al., 2009). In the field of our investigations in the organic-inorganic hybrid materials, we report here the chemical preparation and the structural characterization of a new magnesium ethylenediammonium bis(sulfate)tetrahydrate,[NH3(CH2)2NH3][Mg(SO4)2(H2O)4]. The title compound is isostructural with the manganese, iron and cobalt related phases (Chaabouni et al., 1996; Held et al., 2003; Rekik et al., 2008). As it can be seen in figure 1, the asymmetric unit of the title compound contains only one magnesium atom located at a symmetry centre, only one sulfate tetrahedron and ethylenediammonium cation lying about inversion centre. The Mg(II) central atom is octahedrally coordinated by one oxygen atom of sulfate group, two water molecules and the corresponding centrosymmetrically located atoms. Each octahedron around Mg shares two oxygen with two sulfate groups to form trimeric units, [Mg(SO4)2(H2O)4]2-. The negative charge of the inorganic part is compensated by ethylenediammonium cations which are located on inversion centres in the inorganic framework cavities. The structure cohesion and stability are assured by two types of hydrogen bonds, OW—H···O and N—H···O. Figure 2 shows that the structure can be described as an alternation between organic and inorganic layers along the crystallographic b axis.

Experimental top

Single-crystals of the title compound were grown by slow evaporation at room temperature of an aqueous solution of MgSO4.7(H2O)/C2H8N2 /H2SO4in a ratio 1:1:1. The product was filtered off and washed with a small amount of distilled water.

Refinement top

The aqua H atoms were located in difference map and refined with O—H distance restraints of 0.85 (2) Å and H—H distance restraints of 1.39 (2) Å. H atoms bonded to C and N atomswere positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atom, with C—H = 0.97 Å, N—H = 0.89 Å and Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C, N).

Special details top

Experimental. Data were corrected for Lorentz-polarization effects and an analytical absorption correction (de Meulenaer & Tompa, 1965) was applied. The structure was solved in the P -1 space group by the direct methods (Mg and S) and subsequent difference Fourier syntheses (all other atoms), with an exception for H atoms bonded to C and N atoms which are positioned geometrically.

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.
