2N,N')bis(phenytoinato-
N)cobalt(II)The title compound [systematic name: bis(2,5-dioxo-4,4-diphenylimidazolidin-1-ido-
N1)bis(ethylenediamine-
2N,N')cobalt(II)], [Co(C15H11N2O2)2(C2H8N2)2], has site symmetry
. The CoII cation is located on an inversion center and coordinated by two phenytoin anions and two ethylenediamine ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the phenytoin anion, the two phenyl rings are twisted with respect to the central hydantoin ring, making dihedral angles of 77.49 (16) and 64.55 (15)°. Intramolecular and intermolecular N-H
O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
To a solution of Hpht (1 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added cobalt acetate tetrahydrate (0.5 mmol) and the solution of ethylenediamine (1 mmol) in methanol (10 ml). Then the mixture was sealed in a 25 ml stainless steel vessel with Teflon linear, and heated at 393 K for 50 h. After cooling to room temperature, the orange single crystals were obtained.
H atoms were placed at calculated positions with N—H = 0.86–0.90 Å and C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and refined in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

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

5,5-Diphenylimidazoline-2,4-dione (phenytoin) compound is a widely used drug in the treatment of epilepsy and should be an excellent ligand for transition metal complex (Akitsu et al., 1997; Akitsu & Einaga, 2005). We have synthesized a series of complexes with 5,5-diphenylhydantoinate ligand (Hu et al., 2006, 2007). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound.
The compound (Fig. 1) consists of [Co(pht)2(en)2] (Hpht = 5,5-diphenylhydantoin; en = ethylendiamine) complex neutral molecule. The Co atom is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms from two Hpht ligands and four nitrogen atoms from two en ligands in a distorted octahedral CoN6 coordination environment (Table 1). The Co—N bond distances lie in the range of 2.123 (2) Å to 2.180 (2) Å. There are intra- and intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2).
