In the title compound, [CdCl₂(C₅H₇N₃O)₂], the Cd^II atom is six-coordinated by two heterocyclic N atoms [Cd—N = 2.261 (2) and 2.286 (2) Å] and two O atoms [Cd—O = 2.624 (2) and 2.692 (2) Å] from two bidentate chelate 2-amino-6-methylpyrimidin-4(1H)-one ligands and two chloride ions [Cd—Cl = 2.4674 (6) and 2.4893 (7) Å]. The crystal packing is characterized by an open-framework architecture with the crystal packing stabilized by intermolecular N—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

Open framework crystalline solids containing micro or mesoporisity have been studied extensively in recent years, due to their intriguing structures and considerable technological importance in magnetic, luminescent, porous and catalytic materials (Yaghi, et al., 2003; Kitagawa, et al., 2004). In this work a new member of this family is presented, the title complex involving CdCl₂ and the ligand 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimidine, [Cd(C₅H₇N₃O)₂Cl₂], (I) which was obtained during our studies on the preparation of new organometallic materials (Kaabi, et al., 2010).

In the atomic arrangement of the title compound, the distorted octahedral Cd environment comprises two chloride donor atoms and two N and two O donor atoms from two bidentate chelate organic ligands (Fig. 1). The bond distances around the Cd atom [Cd—N, 2.261 (2), 2.286 (2) Å; Cd—O, 2.624 (2), 2.692 (2) Å; Cd—Cl, 2.4674 (6), 2.4893 (7) Å] are normal (Min et al., 2009; Qing-Yan & Li, 2005; Moloto et al., 2003). The octahedra have intramolecular N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds and are interconnected by a set of N—H···Cl and N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network structure (Fig. 2). Among the hydrogen bonds, one is three-centred [N6—H6B···(O2A,Cl3)]. The overall packing pattern, presented in Fig. 3, shows that the different components of the title material are arranged so as to create pores extending along the c axis and located at (0, 0, 0) and (1/2, 1/2, 0). Thus, this organic-inorganic hybrid open framework material could have potential application as a molecular sieve. An examination of the organic moiety features shows that the bond distances for C2—O2 [1.248 (3) Å] and C2A—O2A [1.255 (3) Å] clearly indicate two double bonds. This allows us to confirm that the first step of the preparation of the title compound consists of the transformation of the 2-amino-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinol into 2-amino-6-methylpyrimidin-4-(1H)-one. However, the present investigation clearly shows that the N6—C6 [1.332 (3) Å] and N6A—C6A [1.324 (3) Å] distances are approximately equal to that of a C=N double bond length, indicating that N3 and N6 nitrogen atoms of the amino group are probably in an sp² hybridization. These bond length features are consistent with imino resonance and suggest a large contribution from it to the stability of the title compound.

Experimental top

A solution of CdCl₂ (37 mg, 0.2 mmol) in water (6 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimidine (50 mg, 0.4 mmol) in ethanol (6 ml). After stirring for 30 min, the mixture was filtered and the resultant solution allowed to evaporate at room temperature. Crystals of the title compound, which remained stable under normal conditions of temperature and humidity, were isolated after several days and subjected to X-ray diffraction analysis (yield 58%).

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. 5 reflections were affected by the beamstop.
