Tetrakis(2-aminopyrazine-
N4)dichloridocobalt(II)
The CoII atom in the title complex, [CoCl2(C4H5N3)4], exists in an all-trans Cl2N4Co octahedral geometry. The CoII atom lies on a special position of 2 site symmetry. Adjacent molecules are linked by N-H
N and N-H
Cl hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
Cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate (0.48 g, 2 mmol) and 2-aminopyrazine (0.19 g, 2 mmol) were dissolved in a small volume of water. Red crystals of the adduct
separated from the filtered solution after several days. CH&N elemental
analysis. Calc. for C16H20Cl2N12Co: C 37.66, H 3.95, N 32.94%; found:
C 37.63, H 3.89, N 32.97%.
Amino-H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined
isotropically with a distance restraint of N–H = 0.86±0.01 Å.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93 Å)
and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation with
Uiso(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C).
