In the title compound, (C16H36N)[Fe(C12H8N3O2)(CN)3]·2H2O, the tetra-n-butylammonium ion has a tetrahedral configuration around the N atom, while the FeIII atom of the tricyanido[N-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboximidato]iron(III) anion adopts a distorted octahedral geometry. O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the components in the crystal structure.

The complex of Bu4N[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O was prepared according to a literature method (Wen et al., 2006). Then, 0.1 mmoL (62 mg) of Bu4N[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O was added to a MeCN/H2O [4/1(V/V), 20 ml] mixture with stirring, The resulting solution was filtered and the filtrate was left to allow slow evaporation in the dark at room temperature. Yellow block-shaped crystals of the title complex suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were obtained after two weeks. Anal. Calc. for C31H48Fe1N7O4: C, 58.30; H, 7.58; N, 15.35; Fe, 8.75%. Found: C, 58.56; H, 7.73; N, 15.01; Fe, 8.98%.
All non-H atoms were refined with anisotropic thermal parameters. All H atoms from the ligand bpca and [(n-C4H9)4N]+ cation were calculated in idealized positions and included in the
in a riding mode with Uiso for H assigned as 1.2 or 1.5 times Ueq of the attached atoms. The H atoms bound to oxygen atoms from crystallized water molecules were located from difference maps, initially refined with O—H and H—H restraints (O—H = 0.850 (1) Å, H—H > 1.300 (1) Å), and then as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).[Fe(bpca)(CN)3]- {bpca = [N-(2-pyridylcarbonyl) pyridine-2-carboximidate}, a low-spin ironIII complex with three cyanide ligands and a tridentate N-donor ligand around ironIII in a mer arrangement, is an interesting building block because it can not only coordinate to transition metal ions to form various polynuclear and one-dimensional structures with fascinating magnetic properties (Lescouëzec et al., 2004; Wen et al., 2006), but also combine with functionalized organic donors such as DIET and DIEDO (DIET = diiodoethylenedithotetrathiavalene and DIEDO = diiodoethylenedioxotetrathiavalene) to form charge transfer salts, which showed interesting electrical conducting and magnetic behaviors (Ouahab et al., 2005). In a previous study, the
of the mononuclear complex PPh4[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O (PPh4 = tetraphenylphosphonium) has been reported by Lescouëzec and his coworkers (Lescouëzec et al., 2004). Recently, we have synthesized the compound [(n-C4H9)4N][FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].2H2O, which is an analog of PPh4[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O with the same anion. Herein, the of the obtained complex is presented.The structure of the title compound is similar to that of PPh4[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O except with different cations. The
of the title complex consists of a [(n-C4H9)4N]+ cation, a [FeIII(bpca)(CN)3]- anion and two H2O molecules (Fig. 1). As usual, the [(n-C4H9)4N]+ cation has a tetrahedral configuration around the N atom. In the [FeIII(bpca)(CN)3]- anion, the FeIII ion is coordinated by three carbon atoms of cyanide groups and three N-donors from bpca ligand in a mer-arrangement, which results in a distorted octahedral geometry. The Fe1—N(bpca) bond distances vary in the range of 1.735 (8)–1.959 (7) Å, which are close to those (1.893 (2)–1.959 (2) Å) found in the complex of PPh4[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O (Lescouëzec et al., 2004). The Fe1—C(cyano) bond lengths (1.933 (10)–1.966 (10) Å) are also similar to those [1.937 (3)–1.951 (3) Å] reported for PPh4[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O.There are some hydrogen-bonding interactions between water molecules, between water and ligand bpca, and between water and the N atom of cyano groups, which hold two adjacent [FeIII(bpca)(CN)3]- together by H-bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2).

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. |

[Fe(bpca)(CN)3]- {bpca = [N-(2-pyridylcarbonyl) pyridine-2-carboximidate}, a low-spin ironIII complex with three cyanide ligands and a tridentate N-donor ligand around ironIII in a mer arrangement, is an interesting building block because it can not only coordinate to transition metal ions to form various polynuclear and one-dimensional structures with fascinating magnetic properties (Lescouëzec et al., 2004; Wen et al., 2006), but also combine with functionalized organic donors such as DIET and DIEDO (DIET = diiodoethylenedithotetrathiavalene and DIEDO = diiodoethylenedioxotetrathiavalene) to form charge transfer salts, which showed interesting electrical conducting and magnetic behaviors (Ouahab et al., 2005). In a previous study, the crystal structure of the mononuclear complex PPh4[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O (PPh4 = tetraphenylphosphonium) has been reported by Lescouëzec and his coworkers (Lescouëzec et al., 2004). Recently, we have synthesized the compound [(n-C4H9)4N][FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].2H2O, which is an analog of PPh4[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O with the same anion. Herein, the crystal structure of the obtained complex is presented.
The structure of the title compound is similar to that of PPh4[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O except with different cations. The asymmetric unit of the title complex consists of a [(n-C4H9)4N]+ cation, a [FeIII(bpca)(CN)3]- anion and two H2O molecules (Fig. 1). As usual, the [(n-C4H9)4N]+ cation has a tetrahedral configuration around the N atom. In the [FeIII(bpca)(CN)3]- anion, the FeIII ion is coordinated by three carbon atoms of cyanide groups and three N-donors from bpca ligand in a mer-arrangement, which results in a distorted octahedral geometry. The Fe1—N(bpca) bond distances vary in the range of 1.735 (8)–1.959 (7) Å, which are close to those (1.893 (2)–1.959 (2) Å) found in the complex of PPh4[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O (Lescouëzec et al., 2004). The Fe1—C(cyano) bond lengths (1.933 (10)–1.966 (10) Å) are also similar to those [1.937 (3)–1.951 (3) Å] reported for PPh4[FeIII(bpca)(CN)3].H2O.
There are some hydrogen-bonding interactions between water molecules, between water and ligand bpca, and between water and the N atom of cyano groups, which hold two adjacent [FeIII(bpca)(CN)3]- together by H-bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2).
