In the 7H10N)2[CoBr4], the [CoBr4]2− anion is connected to two cations through N—H⋯Br and H2C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds to form two-dimensional cation–anion–cation layers normal to the crystallographic b axis. Interactions of the π–π type are absent between cations in the stacks [centroid–centroid separation = 5.01 (5) Å]. Significant intermolecular Br–aryl interactions are present in the structure, especially an unusually short Br–ring centroid interaction of 3.78 (1) Å. The coordination geometry of the anion is approximately tetrahedral and a twofold rotation axis passes through the Co atom.

Boiling CoCl2(1.0 mmol), dissolved in absolute ethanol (10 ml) was added to a stirred absolute ethanol solution (10 ml) of 2,6-lutidine (1 mmol) and 48% HBr (3 ml). The mixture was then treated with liquid Br2 (2 ml). After refluxing for ca 1 h, the mixture was filtered off and allowed to evaporate undisturbed at room temperature. The salt crystallized out over 1 d as blue crystals.
H atoms bound to carbon and nitrogen were placed at idealized positions [C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å] and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso fixed at 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C,N).

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. |

Noncovalent interactions play an important role in organizing structural units in both natural and artificial systems (Desiraju, 1997). They exercise important effects on the organization and properties of many materials in areas such as biology (Hunter 1994; Desiraju & Steiner 1999), crystal engineering (see for example: Allen et al.,1997; Dolling et al., 2001) and material science (Panunto et al., 1987; Robinson et al., 2000). The interactions governing the crystal organization are expected to affect the packing and then the specific properties of solids. In connection with ongoing studies (Ali & Al-Far, 2008; Al-Far & Ali, 2008; Ali & Al-Far, 2007; Al-Far & Ali, 2007a,b) of the structural aspects of halo-metal anion salts, we herein report the crystal structure of the title compound (I) along with its crystal supramolecularity.
The asymmetric unit in (I), contains half an anion and one cation (Fig. 1). The geometry of CoBr42- anions is nearly tetrahedral (Td) about Co metal (Table 1). Co—Br distances are similar, but Co—Br that are engaged in Co—Br···H—N,C hydrogen bonding, Co—Br2 and Co—Br2 [1 - x, y, 1/2 - z], are slightly longer than the others (Table 1). The bond distances and angles fall in the range of those reported previously for compounds containing Co—Br anions (Ali & Al-Far 2008; Al-Far & Ali 2008; Zhang et al., 2005). In the cation, the bond lengths and angles are within normal range (Allen et al., 1987).
The packing of the structure (Fig. 2) can be regarded as alternating stacks of anions and stacks of cations. The anion stacks are parallel to the cation stacks, with Co···Co distance of 9.0691 (10) Å (b axis), with no significant inter- and intra-stack halogen···halogen interactions (shortest Br···Br interactions being 4.4236 (20) Å). The anions and cations are interacting significantly through extensive N—H···Br and C—H···Br hydrogen bonding involving Br- anions and N—H and CH3 groups (Table 2; Fig. 3). These interactions link anions and cations into two-dimensional cation···anion···cation layers approximately normal to the crystallographic b axis (Fig. 3).
There is no π···π stacking of cations, the inter-stack centroid separations X1A···X1A [1 - x, y, 1/2 - z] and X1A···X1A [3/2 - x, 1/2 + y, z] being 5.01 (5) Å. This correlates well with the significant intermolecular Br···aryl interactions present in the structure. These are represented by the unusually short Br2···X1A [1 - x, -y, 1 - z] contact (3.78 (1) Å) and Br1···X1A [1 - x, y, 1/2 - z] (4.17 (3) Å) interaction.
