In the title compound, bis({6-ethylamino-10-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]-2,7-dimethylxanthen-3-ylidene}ethanaminium) hexachloridotin(IV) acetonitrile disolvate, (C₂₇H₂₉N₂O₃)₂[SnCl₆]·2C₂H₃N, the octahedral SnCl₆²⁻ anion lies on an inversion center. The xanthene ring system is essentially planar, with an average deviation of 0.020 Å, and the substituent benzene ring forms a dihedral angle of 85.89 (2)° with it. The Sn—Cl distances are in the range 2.4237 (3)–2.4454 (3) Å. There are N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds between SnCl₆²⁻ ions and rhodamine 6G cations as well as π–π stacking interactions between rhodamine 6G cations (interplanar distance of 3.827 Å).

Comment top

The excellent photo-physical properties of rhodamines are well known (Herz, 1974; Johnson & McGrane, 1993; Nguyen & Meyer, 1992), and recently metal complexes of rhodamine 6 G have been reported by several authors (Bhagavthy et al., 1993; Fun et al., 1997; Wang et al., 1997; Liu et al., 1998). The aggregative properties of cationic species of the dye were observed to be dependent on the anionic environment created by the metal ions. We have synthesized a rhodamine 6 G derivative, 9-[2-methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]-3,6-bis(ethylamino)-2,7-dimethylxanthylium hexachlorotin(IV) diacetonitrile solvate, (I), the structure of which is presented in this paper.

The structure of (I) consists of discrete SnCl₆^2- anions lying on inversion centers, rhodamine 6 G cations and acetonitrile solvent molecules (Fig. 1). The xanthene ring of the cation is planar within an average deviation of 0.020 Å (maximum deviation is 0.045 (1) Å for C4), and the phenyl ring forms a dihedral angle of 85.89 (2)° with it. The C—N distances N1—C24 and N2—C26 are normal for this type of single bond, whereas C3—N1 and C11—N2 are much shorter, showing partial double-bond character; details are in the Table. A similar trend is observed in the other rhodamine 6 G cations (Wang et al., 1997; Liu et al., 1998).

Both hydrogen bonding between cations and anions and π-π stacking interactions between rhodamine 6 G cations exist. Parallel rhodamine ions related by the inversion center have an interplanar distance of 3.827 Å (Fig. 2), and are slipped such that their O1—C13 bonds exactly overlap.

Experimental top

Diphenyl tin dichloride (0.344 g, 1 mmol) was dissolved in 20 ml me thanol, and then 20 ml of methanol solution of rhodamine 6 G (0.479 g, 1 mmol) was added. The bright red solution was refluxed for 1 hr, whereafter red brown solid were obtained on cooling. Suitable size crystals were obtained by the recrystallization at room temperature from acetonitrile (yield ca 85%).

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.
