The title compound, [CoII(C2H8N2)3]Cl2, was obtained unexpectedly as the product of an attempted solvothermal synthesis of cobalt selenide from the elements in the presence of NH4Cl in ethyl­enedi­amine solvent. The three chelate rings of the distorted octa­hedral [Co(C2H8N2)3]2+ complex cation adopt twisted conformations about their C—C bonds. The spread of cis-N—Co—N bond angles [80.17 (6)–98.10 (6)°] in the title compound is considerably greater than the equivalent data for [CoIII(C2H8N2)3]Cl3 [Takamizawa et al. (2008[Takamizawa, S., Akatsuka, T. & Ueda, T. (2008). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 47, 1689-1692.]). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 47, 1689–1692]. In the crystal, the components are linked by numerous N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network in which the cationic complexes are stacked in columns along [010] and separated by columns of chloride anions.

In the chiral Co(II)(en)3 cationic complex (Fig. 1) N atoms form distorted octahedron around central Co atom, cis angles deviate from 90° by less than 10°. Both Λ and Δ isomers are present in equal amounts in the centrosymmetric crystal structure.

Co(en)3 cationic complexes are stacked in columns along [010] direction (Figure 2) and separated by the columns of Cl anions. There two types of chlorine anions in the crystal structure. Cl1 has distorted octahedral coordination by 6 hydrogen atoms from 4 different Co(en)3 complexes. Cl2 has distorted trigonal bipyramid coordination by 5 hydrogen atoms from 2 different Co(en)3 complexes. H···Cl distances vary from 2.45 to 2.70 Å.

The corresponding Co(III) trisethylenediamine complex with chloride counter-anions has been reported. (Takamizawa et al., 2008). The Co(III)(en)3 cationic complex is more regular: cis angles deviate from 90° by less than 4°.

Experimental top

The title compound, [Co(C2N2H8)3]Cl2, was obtained unintentionally as the product of an attempted synthesis of cobalt selenide. Co (64 mg), Se (86 mg), and NH4Cl (100 mg) were reacted in ethylenediamine (en) solvent (30 ml). Reaction was performed in closed hydrothermal vessel at 180°C for 48 h. Degree of the vessel filling was 70%. Irregular moisture-sensitive yellow crystals of the title compound were recovered.

Refinement top

H atoms bonded to N and C atoms were located in a difference Fourier maps and refined without any restraints.

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.
