Bis[[mu]-4-(4-carboxyphenoxy)phthalato]bis[triaquacobalt(II)]

L. Wang

Abstract top

The dinuclear title complex, [Co2(C15H8O7)2(H2O)6], lies across an inversion center. The unique CoII ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry by two O atoms from a chelating 4-(carboxyphenoxy)phthalate ligand, three water O atoms and a further O atom from a bridging carboxylate group of a symmetry-related 4-(carboxyphenoxy)phthalate ligand. In the crystal, O-H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

In the field of supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering, the design and assembly of metal-organic coordination complexes with appealing structures and properties have stimulated interests of chemists in recent decades (Wang et al., 2009; Leininger et al. 2000)). Thus far, a large number of metal-organic coordination complexes have been fabricated. In this paper paper, the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, based on the multidentate 4-(4-carboxyphenoxy)phthalate ligand (H3L) is presented.

The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The dinuclear complex lies across an inversion center. The unique CoII ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry by two oxygen atoms from a chelating 4-(carboxyphenoxy)phthalate ligand, three oxygen atoms from aqua ligands and a further O atom from a bridging carboxylate group of a symmetry related 4-(carboxyphenoxy)phthalate ligand. The Co—O bond lengths are as expected based on a a reported structure (Chu et al., 2011). In the crystal, O—H···O hydrogen bonds link molecules into a three-dimensional network (Table 1 and Fig. 2). The crystal structure of the isostructural Ni(II) complex has been published (Cai, 2011).

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized referring to a reported literature (Cai, 2011). H3L (0.030 g, 0.1 mmol), Co(OAc)2.4H2O (0.050 g, 0.2 mmol), and H2O (15 ml) was sealed in 25 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel reactor and heated to 393K. Purple blocks suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were separated by filtration with the yield of 27%.

Refinement top

All H atoms bonded to C atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and treated as riding on their parent atoms with C—H = 0.93 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq (C). The hydrogen atoms of carboxyl group and water molecules were included in 'as found' positions and with O—H distances subsequently fixed at 0.85 (1)Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

Special details top

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.
