In the title compound, [Hg(C14H13N4O3)Cl], the HgII atom is four-coordinated by one O atom and two N atoms from a tridentate 1-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)triazenide ligand and one terminal chloride ion in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the the mononuclear complexes are linked into pairs through C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds as well as π–π and C—H⋯π stacking interactions. In addition, weak Hg–μ6-arene π-interactions [mean distance of 3.667 (2) Å] are present between these dimers. The π–π stacking interactions are between aromatic rings with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.884 (2) Å. Moreover, edge-to-face interactions are present between ethoxy CH groups and aromatic rings with H⋯π distances of 2.81 Å.

A methanol solution of 1-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)triazene (0.286 g, 1 mmol) was added to a solution of mercury(II) chloride (0.270 g, 1 mmol). After mixing for 30 minutes at room temperature, solution of sodium acetate in water was added to adjust the pH at 6–6.2. After 2 h, a red solid was readily precipitated out. It was filtered off, washed with methanol and dried in vacuum. The orange crude material was dissolved in 10 ml of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), and placed in a freezer without covering. After two weeks beautiful orange and air-stable crystals of the title complex were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent; m.p. 460–462 K.
An
was established using Flack (1983) method. The H-atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.95, 0.98 and 0.99 Å for aryl, methyl and methylene type H-atoms, respectively, and included in the in riding mode with fixed isotropic displacement parameters (Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for the CH3-groups and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for the other groups). The highest positive residual electron density peak of 0.87 eÅ3 was localized at a distance of 0.91 Å from the Hg1 atom and was meaningless.Triazene compounds characterized by having a diazoamino group (–N═NN–) commonly adopt a trans configuration in the ground state. The study of transition-metal complexes containing 1,3-diaryltriaznide ligands has greatly increased in the past few years because of the versatility of their coordination forms, yielding a variety of coordination compounds with large structural diversity (Moore & Robinson, 1986; Vrieze & Van Koten, 1987; Horner et al.., 2006). The crystal structures of a few complexes related to the title compound have been reported recently (Melardi et al., 2007; Rofouei et al., 2009).
In the title complex (Fig. 1), the [1-(2-ethoxyphenyl)3-(4-nitrophenyl)]triazenide ion is coordinated to the central atom Hg(II) through two N atoms [Hg1—N1 = 2.070 (3) Å and Hg1—N3 = 2.711 (3) Å] and one O atom [Hg1—O1 = 2.662 (2) Å]. In addition, a Cl- ion is coordinated to Hg(II) atom with the bond distance Hg1—Cl1 = 2.269 (9) Å. These bond distances agree very well with the corresponding distances reported in related structures (Melardi et al., 2007; Rofouei et al., 2009). The atoms of the ligand and lie in a plane (maximum deviation from coplanarity being 0.115 (4)Å for O2 while Cl1 and Hg1 lie 1.402 (3) and 0.606 (2)Å, respecively, out of this plane. The molecules of the title complex are linked to form pairs through non-classical C—H···O and C—H···Cl hydrogen bond, as well as π–π and C—H···π stacking interactions.
There are π–π stacking interactions present between aromatic rings with centroid-centroid distance of 3.884 (2) Å for Cg1···Cg1 (Cg1 = C7—C12, x, 1 - y, z-1/2), and also edge-to-face interactions are present between CH group of ethoxy with aromatic rings with H···π distance of 2.81 Å for C13—H13B···Cg2 (Cg2 = C1—C6 x, 1 - y, z-1/2). In addition, weak Hg-µ6-arene π-interactions (mean distance 3.667 (2) Å) are present between these dimers. The secondary Hg-µ6-arene π-interactions involve carbon atoms of the C1—C6 phenyl rings (Table 1, Fig. 2). The weak non-covalent interactions seem to play important role in the crystal packing and the formation of a desired framework. The packing of the title compound is shown in Fig. 3.

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. |

Triazene compounds characterized by having a diazoamino group (–N═NN–) commonly adopt a trans configuration in the ground state. The study of transition-metal complexes containing 1,3-diaryltriaznide ligands has greatly increased in the past few years because of the versatility of their coordination forms, yielding a variety of coordination compounds with large structural diversity (Moore & Robinson, 1986; Vrieze & Van Koten, 1987; Horner et al.., 2006). The crystal structures of a few complexes related to the title compound have been reported recently (Melardi et al., 2007; Rofouei et al., 2009).
In the title complex (Fig. 1), the [1-(2-ethoxyphenyl)3-(4-nitrophenyl)]triazenide ion is coordinated to the central atom Hg(II) through two N atoms [Hg1—N1 = 2.070 (3) Å and Hg1—N3 = 2.711 (3) Å] and one O atom [Hg1—O1 = 2.662 (2) Å]. In addition, a Cl- ion is coordinated to Hg(II) atom with the bond distance Hg1—Cl1 = 2.269 (9) Å. These bond distances agree very well with the corresponding distances reported in related structures (Melardi et al., 2007; Rofouei et al., 2009). The atoms of the ligand and lie in a plane (maximum deviation from coplanarity being 0.115 (4)Å for O2 while Cl1 and Hg1 lie 1.402 (3) and 0.606 (2)Å, respecively, out of this plane. The molecules of the title complex are linked to form pairs through non-classical C—H···O and C—H···Cl hydrogen bond, as well as π–π and C—H···π stacking interactions.
There are π–π stacking interactions present between aromatic rings with centroid-centroid distance of 3.884 (2) Å for Cg1···Cg1 (Cg1 = C7—C12, x, 1 - y, z-1/2), and also edge-to-face interactions are present between CH group of ethoxy with aromatic rings with H···π distance of 2.81 Å for C13—H13B···Cg2 (Cg2 = C1—C6 x, 1 - y, z-1/2). In addition, weak Hg-µ6-arene π-interactions (mean distance 3.667 (2) Å) are present between these dimers. The secondary Hg-µ6-arene π-interactions involve carbon atoms of the C1—C6 phenyl rings (Table 1, Fig. 2). The weak non-covalent interactions seem to play important role in the crystal packing and the formation of a desired framework. The unit cell packing of the title compound is shown in Fig. 3.
