Abstract top

In the title compound, [CoCl2(C11H10N2)], the CoII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two N atoms from a 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two terminal Cl atoms. Intermolecular C-H...Cl hydrogen bonds and [pi]-[pi] stacking interactions between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.745 (3) Å] are present in the crystal.

Comment top

In recent years, we have reported the synthesis and crystal structures of [Co(6,6'-dmbipy)Cl2], (II) (Akbarzadeh Torbati et al., 2010b), [Co(Ph2phen)Cl2], (III) (Akbarzadeh Torbati et al., 2010a) and [Co(biq)Cl2], (IV) (Akbarzadeh Torbati et al., 2011) (6,6'-dmbipy = 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, Ph2phen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, biq = 2,2'-biquinoline). 6-Methyl-2,2'-bipyridine (6-mbipy) is a good ligand and a few complexes with 6-mbipy have been prepared, such as that of [Hg(6-mbipy)Cl2], (V) (Ahmadi, Ebadi et al., 2008), [Pt(6-mbipy)Cl4], (VI) (Amani et al., 2009), [Pb4(NO3)8(6-mbipy)4], (VII) (Ahmadi et al., 2009), [Zn(6-mbipy)Br2], (VIII) (Kalateh et al., 2010), [Zn(6-mbipy)Cl2], (IX) (Ahmadi, Kalateh et al., 2008), [Pd(6-mbipy)Cl2], (X) (Newkome et al., 1982), [Ru(6-mbipy)3][BF4]2, (XI) (Onggo et al., 2005), [Fe(6-mbipy)3][ClO4]2.6-mbipy, (XII) (Onggo et al., 1990) and [Cd(6-mbipy)Br2(DMSO)], (XIII) (Shirvan & Haydari Dezfuli, 2012). We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).

In the title compound (Fig. 1), the CoII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two N atoms from a 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two terminal Cl atoms (Table 1). In the crystal, intermolecular C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 2) and π–π contacts (Fig. 2) between the pyridine rings, Cg2···Cg3i [centroid–centroid distance = 3.745 (3) Å, symmetry code: (i) 2-x, 2-y, -z, Cg2 and Cg3 are the centroids of the N1/C2–C6 ring and N2/C7–C11 ring, respectively], stabilize the structure.

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, a solution of 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine (0.23 g, 1.34 mmol) in methanol (15 ml) was added to a solution of CoCl2.6H2O (0.37 g, 1.34 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 ml) and the resulting blue solution was stirred for 15 min at 313 K. This solution was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After one week, blue block crystals of the title compound were isolated (yield: 0.30 g, 74.6%).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) and 0.96 (CH3) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
