(Received 13 September 2008; accepted 15 September 2008; online 20 September 2008)

In the molecule of the title compound, [InCl₃(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)(C₂H₆OS)], the In^III atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral configuration by two N atoms from the chelating 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand, one O atom from dimethyl sulfoxide and three Cl atoms. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.

Recently, we reported the syntheses and crystal structures of [Zn(5,5'-dmbpy)Cl₂], (II), (Khalighi et al., 2008), [Zn(6-mbpy)Cl₂], (III), (Ahmadi, Kalateh et al., 2008), [Cd(5,5'-dmbpy)(µ-Cl)₂]_n, (IV), (Ahmadi, Khalighi et al., 2008), (Hg(4,4'-dmbpy)I₂], (V), (Yousefi, Tadayon Pour et al., 2008) and [Cu(5,5'-dcbpy)(en)(H₂O)₂].2.5H₂O, (VI), (Yousefi, Khalighi et al., 2008) [where 5,5'-dmbpy is 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 6-mbpy is 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4'-dmbpy is 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 5,5'-dcbpy is 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylate and en is ethylenediamine]. We have also reported the synthesis and crystal structures of iron(III) complexes of [Fe(bipy)Cl₃(DMSO)], (VII) and [Fe(phen)Cl₃(DMSO)], (VIII), (Amani et al., 2007) and [Fe(phen)Cl₃(CH₃OH)].CH₃OH, (IX), (Khavasi et al., 2007) [where bipy is 2,2'-bipyridine, DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline]. There are several In^III complexes, with formula, [In(N—N)Cl₃(L)], (L = DMSO, H₂O and EtOH), such as [In(bipy)Cl₃(H₂O)], (X), [In(bipy)Cl₃(EtOH)], (XI) and [In(bipy)Cl₃(H₂O)].H₂O, (XII), (Malyarick et al., 1992), [In(phen)Cl₃(DMSO)], (XIII), (Nan et al., 1987), [In(phen)Cl₃(H₂O)], (XIV) and [In(phen)Cl₃(EtOH)].EtOH, (XV), (Ilyukhin & Malyarick, 1994) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).

In the title compound, (Fig. 1), the In^III atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral configuration by two N atoms from 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2' -bipyridine, one O atom from dimethyl sulfoxide and three Cl atoms. The In—Cl and In—N bond lengths and angles (Table 1) are within normal ranges, as in (XI), (XII), (XIII) and (XV).

In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure.

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, (I), a solution of 4,4'-dimethyl -2,2'-bipyridine (0.20 g, 1.10 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added to a solution of InCl₃.4H₂O (0.16 g, 0.55 mmol) in methanol (5 ml) at room temperature. The suitable crystals for X-ray analysis were isolated after one week by methanol diffusion to a colorless solution in DMSO (yield; 0.19 g, 71.4%).

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.
