(Received 30 June 2010; accepted 1 July 2010; online 7 July 2010)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C11H18N2)2[CdCl6]·2H2O, consists of one 1-benzyl­piperazine-1,4-diium dication, one water mol­ecule and one-half of a [CdCl6]4− anion, located on an inversion centre. The crystal packing is governed by an extensive three-dimensional network of inter­molecular O—H⋯Cl, C—H⋯Cl, N—H⋯O and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, two of them bifurcated.

Comment top

As a part of our ongoing investigations in molecular salts containing meta-chlorido complexes (El Glaoui, Jeanneau, et al., 2009; El Glaoui, Kefi et al., 2009), we present here the crystal structure of one such compound, (C11H18N2)2CdCl6.2H2O, (Fig. 1). The asymmetric unit of its structure consists of one 1-benzylpiperazine-1,4-diium dication doubly protonated at the N1 and N2 nitrogen atoms, one water molecule and one-half of a CdCl64- anion (located on a crystallographic inversion centre) (Fig. 1). The atomic arrangement of (C11H18N2)2CdCl6.2H2O can be described as built up by inorganic chains of CdCl6 octahedra and water molecules extending along the b direction held together by O—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, Table 1). Two such chains cross the unit cell at z = 0, z = 1/2 and x = 1/2 (Fig. 3). The organic groups are located between these chains and connect to them through N—H···Cl, C—H···Cl and N—H···O hydrogen bonds to form a three dimensional infinite network (Fig. 3, Table 1). All the chloride ions are involved in hydrogen bonding. It should be pointed out at this point that the C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds do usually not play a large role in stabilizing a structure (Janiak & Scharmann, 2003), but due to the large number of these interactions in the title compound they seem to substantially contribute to the choice of packing observed in the structure of the title compound. Among all the hydrogen bonds, two are bifurcated: N2—H2A···(Cl1, Cl2) and N2—H2B···(Cl2, Cl3). The H1 hydrogen atom attached to the N1 nitrogen atom is bonded only to the water molecule, via the N1—H1···O1 hydrogen bond, and not to the CdCl64- anion.

The Cd II ion is in an octahedral coordination environment composed of six chloride anions as to form an hexachlorocadmate (II) ion. In this kind of anion, the Cd—Cl bond lengths and Cl—Cd—Cl bond angles are generally not equal to one another but vary with the environment around the Cl atoms (Bala et al., 2006). In the title compound, the values of the Cd—Cl bond lengths vary between 2.5528 (5) and 2.7055 (4) Å. The Cl—Cd—Cl angles range from 87.354 (11) to 92.646 (11)°. These geometrical parameters agree with those found in [Co(NH3)6]4 [CdCl6] [CdCl4(SCN)(H2O)]2Cl2.2H2O where the Cd—Cl distances are between 2.5937 (9) and 2.691 (1) Å and the Cl—Cd—Cl angles ranging from 89.23 (3) to 95.50 (3)° (Bala et al., 2006). Owing to the obvious differences of Cd—Cl distances and Cl—Cd—Cl angles in (C11H18N2)2CdCl6.2H2O, the coordination geometry of the Cd atom could be regarded as a slightly distorted octahedron which is in full agreement with the literature data (Bala, et al., 2006).

Experimental top

1-Benzypyperazine (2 mmol, 0.352 g) and CdCl2 (1 mmol, 0.183 g), were dissolved in dilute HCl (10 ml, 1 M) and the resultant solution was slowly evaporated at room temperature. A crystal of the title compound, which remained stable under normal conditions of temperature and humidity, was isolated after several days and subjected to X-ray diffraction analysis (yield 55%).

Refinement top

C—H and NH2+ hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H in the range 0.93–0.97 and N—H equal to 0.92 Å. The N—H+ and the water hydrogen atom postitions were refined with N—H and O—H distance restraints of 0.91 (2) and 0.84 (2) Å. The Uiso(H) values of all H atoms were constrained to 1.2 or 1.5 times Ueq of the respective parent atom.

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.
