The title complex, [CoCl(C5H13N)(C2H8N2)2]Cl2·H2O, comprises one chloridobis(ethylenediamine)(n-pentylamine)cobalt(III) cation, two chloride counter-anions and a water molecule. The CoIII atom of the complex is hexacoordinated by five N and one Cl atoms. The five N atoms are from two chelating ethylenediamine and one n-pentylamine ligands. Neighbouring cations and anions are connected by N—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to each other and also to the water molecule.

A modified method of synthesize of cis-[CoIII(en)2(nPentNH2)Cl]Cl2.H2O was developed by substituting chloride ligand with AnalaR n-pentyl amine in trans-[Co(en)2Cl2]Cl. AnalaR n-pentyl amine (2–3 ml) was added in drops to a paste of 2 g of the trans-dichlorobis(1,2-diamino ethane)cobalt(III) chloride suspended in 1 ml of water. The mixture was ground for an hour until the solid becomes rosy red, and allowed overnight. The complex was recrystallized from acidified water. Single crystal was grown by adding the metal complex in triply distilled water containing few drops of conc. HCl and kept at 0°C for 2–3 weeks.
H atoms were placed in idealized positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.97Å and 0.96Å for methylene and methyl H respectively, and N—H = 0.86Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) for all other H atoms. The H atoms of the water molecule were located in a difference Fourier map and their positional parameters refined with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O), and with the O—H distances restrained to be 0.85 (1)Å.

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. |

Metal-chelate complexes find potential applications in the research fields (Tweedy, 1964; Kralova et al., 2004) of antitumor activity, enzyme catalysis, functioning of micro organisms and in the respiration processes of biological systems (Parekh et al., 2005; Rajevel et al., 2008). Chelating ligand such as ethylenediamine has been widely used to prepare a number of cobalt(III) complexes (Bailer & Clapp, 1945; Bailer & Rollinson, 1946). A structural analogue of the cobalt(III)-alkyl amine complex, such as chloro(n-pentyl amine)bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride, [CoIII(en)2(nPentNH2) Cl]Cl2, is studied. Cobalt(III) complex consisting of n-PentNH2 ligand, is an interesting complex showing some novel reactivity. Hence, single-crystal X-ray study of the above compound has been carried out.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The title compound, Cis-[CoIII(en)2(nPentNH2)Cl]Cl2.H2O, is a mononuclear cobalt(III) complex. The Co(III) atom is hexa-coordinated by six ligating atoms (five N and one Cl) forming two chelating ethylenediamine ligands, leading to a slightly distorted octahedral configuration. The two chloride ions act as counter-ions. The average Co— N bond length is 1.963 (4) Å and agrees well with related literature (Ou et al., 2007).
The crystal structure is stabilized by intramolecular N—H···O and N—H···Cl interactions. The molecules are linked into three-dimensional framework by N—H···Cl and C—H···Cl intermolecular interactions (Fig. 2, Table 1).
