(Received 7 July 2010; accepted 12 July 2010; online 21 July 2010)

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mg(CHN4)2(H2O)4], the MgII atom is six-coordinated by two N atoms from two tetra­zolide anions and four O atoms from four coordinated water mol­ecules in a slightly distorted octa­hedral geometry. The Mg atom is located on centres of inversion whereas the tetra­zolide anion and the water mol­ecules occupy general positions. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding between the tetra­zolide anions and the coordinated water mol­ecules.

Comment top

Tetrazolide anions are found in a number of metal complexes as ligands and the crystal structures and properties of several of such metal complexes have been reported in literature (Zhang et al., 2007; He et al., 2006) In the present contribution we report the synthesis and crystal structure of it's magnesium(II) complex. In the crystal structure of the title compound the Mg atoms are six-coordinated by two N atoms from two symmetry equivalent tetrazolide anions and four O atoms of two pairs of symmetry equivalent water molecules. The coordination polyhedra around the Mg atoms can be described as slightly distorted tetrahedra (Fig. 1). In the crystal structure the complexes are connected by intermolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonding into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2 and Tab. 1).

Experimental top

A solution of MgCl2 2H2O (1 mmol) in water (5 ml) was slowly added to a solution of tetrazole (1 mmol) in water (14 ml) with continuous stirring at room temperature. After 30 minutes, the mixture was sealed in a 25 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel vessel and heated under autogenous pressure at 160 °C for 4 days, then slowly cooled to room temperature. The colorless crystals were collected by filtration, washed with distilled water and dried in air. Yield: 60% (based on Mg).

Refinement top

The H atoms of the tetrazole ligands were placed in geometrically idealized positions with C—H distances of 0.95 Å and were refined isotropic using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms of the coordinated water molecules were located in the difference Fourier maps and refined isotropic with varying coordinates.

Special details top

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.
