(Received 26 July 2013; accepted 6 August 2013; online 10 August 2013)

In the title compound, [Fe(NCS)2(C8H6N4S2)2]n, the FeII cation is coordinated by two terminal N-bonded thio­cyanate anions and four bridging N:N′-bridging dipyrazin-2-yl di­sulfide ligands in an octa­hedral geometry. The FeII cations are connected via bridging 4,4′-di­pyrazine ligands into chains along the b-axis direction. The asymmetric unit consists of one FeII cation located on position with site symmetry 2/m, one thio­cyanate anion located on a mirror plane and one di­sulfide ligand located on a twofold rotation axis.

Comment top

This work is part of a project on the synthesis and characterization of new coordination compounds based on transition metal thiocyanates and different N-donor ligand (Wriedt & Näther, 2011). Crystals of the title compound were obtained by accident in the reaction of iron(II) sulfate heptahydrate with potassium thiocyanate and 2-chloropyrazine. To identify the product of this reaction a structure determination was performed.

In the crystal structure of the title compound each iron(II) cation is octahedrally coordinated by two terminal N-bonded thiocyanato anions and four bridging dipyrazine-disulfide ligands that has accidently formed in the reaction (Fig. 1 and Tab. 1). The Fe—NCS distances of 2.061 (4) Å and the Fe—N(dipyrazine-disulfide) distances of 2.273 (3) Å are in the normal range (Tab. 1). The FeII cations are located on position 2/m, the thiocyanato anions on a mirror plane and the dipyrazine-disulfide ligands on a 2-fold axis (Fig. 1). The iron(II) cations are linked into chains by the dipyrazine-disulfide ligands that elongate in the direction of the crystallographic b-axis (Fig. 2). It must be noted that according to a search in the CCDC database such compounds with dipyrazine-disulfide are unknown (ConQuest Ver. 1.14 2012, Allen, 2002).

Experimental top

FeSO4.7H2O and 2-chloropyrazine were obtained from Sigma Aldrich. KNCS was obtained from Alfa Aesar. 0.6 mmol (168.8 mg) FeSO4.7H2O, 1.2 mmol (118.5 mg) KNCS and 0.15 mmol (13.2 µL) 2-chloropyrazine were reacted with 1 mL H2O in a closed test-tube at 120°C for three days. On cooling red block-shaped single crystals of the title compound has formed.

Refinement top

All H atoms were located in difference map but were positioned with idealized geometry and were refined isotropic with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) of the parent atom using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å.

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.
