In the title compound, [Co(C14H16N2O4)2(H2O)2]n, the CoII atom, lying on an inversion center, is coordinated by six O atoms in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The CoII atoms are bridged by the nitronyl nitroxide ligands into a tape-like structure along the b axis. The tapes are further connected by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a layer parallel to the bc plane.

Comment top

The combination of paramagnetic metal ions and organic nitronyl nitroxides has attracted much more attention in the last decades, because of their intriguing structural, magnetic, and spectral properties (Caneschi et al., 1993; Luneau et al., 1998).

We herein report the crystal structure of a new complex revealed two ladder-like one-dimensional chains of repeating Co(NITpBA)2(H2O)2 units. As shown in Fig. 1, the central Co ion is located in a distorted octahedral environment. It is bonded to two oxygen atoms from carboxylic acid group, two oxygen atoms from nitroxide group and two oxygen atoms from two water atoms. Each radical coordinates the next Co(II) ion in the opposite fashion thus forming chains. There are intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecule and the non-coordinated carboxylic O2 atom (Table 1 and Fig. 2).

Experimental top

All reagents and chemicals were purchased from commercial sources. The carboxylates, Co(Me3CCO2)2(H2O)2, were prepared as described previously (Mehrotra & Bohra, 1983). The benzoic acid substituted nitronyl nitroxide radical NITpBAH) was synthesized according to the procedure previously described (Schiødt et al., 1996). Co(Me3CCO2)2(H2O)2 (0.0290 g, 0.1 mmol) was dissolved with prolonged stirring at room temperature in acetonitrile (15 mL). Then a 10 mL dichloromethane solution of NITpBAH(0.0608 g, 0.2 mmol) was added dropwise with stirring. Both solutions were mixed while stirring was continued for 1 h, dark blue crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature over several days.

Refinement top

Positional parameters of all H atoms bound to C were calculated geometrically (C—H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å) and the H atoms were refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C). The H atoms of water molecile were located in a difference Fourier map and fixed at the positions with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

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.
