The title compound, [W(C10H14N2)(CO)5], contains five carbonyl ligands and a nicotine ligand in an octa­hedral arrangement around the tungsten atom. The metal atom shows cis angles in the range 87.30 (16)–94.2 (2)°, and trans angles between 175.2 (2) and 178.1 (4)°. The W—CO bond trans to the pyridine N atom [1.987 (6) Å] is noticeably shorter than the others, which range between 2.036 (3) and 2.064 (3) Å, possibly due to the well-known trans effect. The distance between the W atom and the pyridine N atom is 2.278 (4) Å.

Comment top

An effort to understand and mimic the nature of nitrogen fixation has led to wide studies on the responsible enzyme, nitrogenase (Jennings, 1991; Schrock, 2006). The focus of our study was to investigate the reactions of the precursor tungsten halocarbonyl derivative, [W(CO)4X2]2, with nitrogen bases to help contribute to this investigation. The compound nicotine (L), was reacted with the presupposed W(CO)4X2, with the hope of obtaining W(CO)4L2; however, the product which was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray analysis was W(CO)5L, indicating that the compound was formed via a different route. It is thus envisaged that during the preparation of the precursor it is likely that such compounds as W(CO)5Cl- [Abel et al. (1963); Baker (1998)] may be formed, which in turn react with a single molecule of the ligand, nicotine, forming the obtained product. There is less likelihood of a direct substitution of the carbonyl ligands (Tripathi & Srivasatva, 1970) or a redox mechanism (Heyns & Buchholtz, 1976) that would most likely lead to a disubstituted compound. The coordination of nicotine to tungsten, as observed, is via the imine nitrogen as shown in the crystal structure of the compound (See Figure 1).

The W metal centre has cis angles in the range 87.30 (16) to 94.2 (2)°, and trans angles between 175.2 (2)° and 178.1 (4)°. The W–CO bond trans to the nitrogen [1.987 (6) Å] is noticeably shorter than the others, which range between 2.036 (3) and 2.064 (3) Å, possibly due to the known trans effect. The distance between the W atom and the nicotine imine N is 2.278 (4) Å.

The infrared absorption bands of the compound show five absorption peaks at 2006.8(m), 1921.9(w), 1884.3(s), 1816.6(m) and 1760.9(m) cm-1. Also, there is a ~1ppm shift downfield in the positions of the alpha protons on the pyridine ring of the product in both the 1H and 13C NMR spectra compared to the reactants. The CO that is trans to the pyridinyl structure has the most significant shift upfield, possibly due to the trans effect. Only one peak is observed for the carbonyls in the 13C NMR spectrum, possibly due to shielding by the ring electrons leading to a slow decay, and since they are so close they appear identical.

Experimental top

The procedure by Colton and Tomkins (1966) and Schlenk techniques were used to prepare tungsten halocarbonyl [W(CO)4Cl2]. This halocarbonyl (13.13 mmol) was then reacted in situ with the base, nicotine (31.13 mmol), dissolved in freshly distilled methanol (20 ml) at -78 °C and the mixture left to warm to room temperature while stirring. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 14 h after which the solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue washed with portions of dry freshly distilled methanol and rinsed with diethylether. A yellow product was obtained in medium yield.

The crystal was grown at 4°C using a slow diffusion of dichloromethane over hexane for several days.

Refinement top

All H atoms for (I) were found in electron density difference maps. The methyl H atoms were put in ideally staggered positions with C—H distances of 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). The methylene, methine and phenyl Hs were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent C atoms with C—H distances of 0.99, 1.00 and 0.95 Å, respectively, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
