The title compound, [Co(C14H17N5)(C6H7N)](C24H20B) or [Co{(pyrrole)2dien}(4-Mepy)]BPh4 where (pyrrole)2dien is 2,2′-[(3-azapentane-1,5-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]dipyrrole and 4-Mepy is 4-methylpyridine, contains a pentadentate (pyrrole)2dien ligand furnishing an N5 set, such that two of the pyrrole N atoms and two of the dien N atoms occupy the equatorial positions while one of the imine N atoms of the (pyrrole)2dien ligand occupies the axial position. The 4-methylpyridine ligand occupies an axial position trans to one of the imine N atoms of the pentadentate ligand. In the observed conformation of the pentadentate ligand, the pyrrole rings attain asymmetrical positions owing to the structural demands. The geometry of the resulting CoN6 coordination can be described as distorted octahedral.

The ligand was synthesized according to the literature (Kwiatkowski et al., 1993). To a stirring solution of Co(CH3COO)2.4H2O (0.249 g, 1 mmol) in absolute ethanol (50 ml) was added an equimolar amount of ligand (0.256 g, 1 mmol). The pink solution turned brown immediately upon the formation of Co(III) complex. To this solution was added dropwise 7.5 mmol of the 4-methylpyridine. The reaction mixture was stirred for about 4 h and then filtered off. To the brown filtrate was added NaBPh4 (0.342 g, 1 mmol). The solution was left undisturbed for three days. The brown microcrystalline product was filtered off and washed with cold methanol. Brown crystals of the compound suitable for X-ray crystallography were obtained by diffusion of diethyl ether in to the acetone solution of the product.
All H atoms attached to C atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.95Å (aromatic), 0.99Å (methylene) and 0.98Å (methyl) with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(aromatic, methylene) or Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(methyl). The N(3) bonded hydrogen H(3n) was freely refined.

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 > 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. |

Transition metal Schiff-base complexes have been extensively studied due to their applications, e.g., their ability to reversibly bind oxygen, and their use in catalysis for oxygenation and oxidation reactions of organic compounds (Nishinaga et al. 1980; Speiser et al., 1995; Park et al., 1998). Among these metal complexes, cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes with two amines in axial positions have attracted considerable interest due to their ability as antimicrobial agents (Miodragović et al., 2006; Mishra et al., 2008). Transition metal complexes with pentadentate ligands show interesting structural features and have also been playing an important role in the development of coordination chemistry (Amirnasr et al., 2006; Morshedi et al., 2006; Meghdadi et al., 2007; Meghdadi et al., 2008) . In this context, we herein report the synthesis and structure of the title compound, [Co{(pyrrole)2dien}(4-Mepy)]BPh4, (I), and make a brief comparison with reported structures.
The environment surrounding CoIII in (I) is distorted octahedral (Fig. 1), in which the three N atoms of the Schiff base ligand are arranged in facial positions. The geometric parameters are listed below in the supplementary materials. The two chelate bite angles (81.38 (5)°, 82.26 (5)°) formed by the two imine-N and the secondary amine-N of the Schiff base are similar. The five-membered chelate rings formed by the pyrrole-N and the imine-N atoms have almost identical bite angles (N1—Co1—N2 82.11 (5)°; N4—Co1—N5 82.22 (5)°). The three trans angles, (N2—Co1—N5 170.28 (5)°; N4—Co1—N6 170.80 (5)°, N1—Co1—N3 161.96 (5)°) deviate significantly from ideal. The Co—N(pyrrole), Co—N(imine), Co—N(secondary amine) and CoN-(4-methylpyridine) bond lengths are comparable with the bond lengths observed in related Co(III) complexes (Meghdadi et al., 2008). The conformation adopted by the (pyrrole)2dien in (I) is different from that of (Me-sal)2dpt in [Co{(Me-sal)2dpt}(py)]PF6 (Meghdadi et al., 2007). While the three donor N atoms of (Me-sal)2dpt occupy three meridional sites and the two phenolate-O atoms are trans to each other, the three N atoms of (pyrrole)2dien ligand are arranged in facial positions and the two pyrrole-N atoms are cis. This is presumably due to the structural demands imparted by (pyrrole)2dien Schiff base ligand which has forced the [Co{(pyrrole)2dien}(4-Mepy)]+ to attain such a twisted structure.
