The title compound, [Hg(C6H5)(C15H15N4O2S)], shows the metal–phenyl moiety coordinated out of plane with the thiocarbazonate ligand by 43.84 (6)°. Important geometrical parameters include Hg—S = 2.3653 (10) Å, Hg—C = 2.058 (4) Å and S—Hg—C = 179.06 (11)°. There is a weak coordination of an N atom of the ligand to Hg [Hg—N = 2.725 (3) Å]. S⋯Hg interactions[3.2928 (10) Å] form chains along [001], stabilizing the crystal structure.

Solvents (AR) purchased from Merck and reagents from Sigma-Aldrich were used without further purification. The ortho-methoxy derivative of dithizone, (o-OCH3PhNHN)2CS, was prepared according to a procedure reported by Mirkhalaf et al. (1998). The synthesis and crystallization of the title compound was done according to a procedure earlier reported by Von Eschwege et al. (2008).
All hydrogen atoms were positioned in geometrically idealized positions with C—H = 0.98 Å (methyl), 0.95 Å (aromatic) and 0.86 Å (imine). All hydrogen atoms were allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), except for the methyl where Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) was utilized. The initial positions of methyl hydrogen atoms were located from a Fourier difference map and refined as fixed rotor. The highest residual electron density of 1.15 e.Å-3 is 0.81 Å from Hg1 representing no physical meaning.
Irving et al. (1949) and Webb et al. (1950) independently reported photochromicity of the thiocarbazonatomercury(II) complex. The single-crystal X-ray structure of the phenyl mercury thiocarbazonate complex was established by Hutton et al. (1980) and redox properties by Von Eschwege et al. (2011), while femtosecond laser spectroscopy resolved the short-lived time constants of the photochromic reaction (Schwoerer et al., 2011). For the purpose of investigating the influence of electron donating groups on the photochromic and redox reactions of thiocarbazonatophenylmercury(II) complexes a series of electronically altered dithizones were synthesized and for the first time complexed with mercury. Deep orange-red needle crystals of the ortho-methoxy derivative, suitable for X-ray crystallography, were isolated from a dichloromethane solution overlaid with ethanol.
The title compound (Fig. 1, Table 1) shows the metal-phenyl moiety coordinated out of plane to the (2-methoxyphenyl)thiocarbazonate by 43.84 (6)°. The methoxy moieties are slightly twisted out of planarity with their respective phenyl rings [C12—C13—O1—C14 = 22.0 (7)° and C19—C20—O2—C21 = 16.1 (6)°]. Important geometrical parameters include Hg—S = 2.3653 (10) Å, Hg—C = 2.058 (4) Å, and 〈 S—Hg—C = 179.06 (11)°. There is a weak coordination of a N-atom of the thiocarbazonate to Hg (Hg—N = 2.725 (3) Å). S···Hg interactions stabilizes the crystal packing (Fig. 2).

Experimental. The intensity data was collected on a Bruker Apex DUO 4 K CCD diffractometer using an exposure time of 60 s/frame. A total of 894 frames were collected with a frame width of 0.5° covering up to θ = 28.26° with 99.2% completeness accomplished. Analytical data: M.p. 212 - 213 °C; λmax (dichloromethane) 505 nm; δH (300 MHz, CDCl3) 3.68, 4.03 (6 H, 2 × s, 2 × CH3), 6.57 – 7.89 (13 H, m, 2 × C6H4, 1 × C6H5), 9.75 (1H, s, 1 × NH). |
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. |

Irving et al. (1949) and Webb et al. (1950) independently reported photochromicity of the thiocarbazonatomercury(II) complex. The single-crystal X-ray structure of the phenyl mercury thiocarbazonate complex was established by Hutton et al. (1980) and redox properties by Von Eschwege et al. (2011), while femtosecond laser spectroscopy resolved the short-lived time constants of the photochromic reaction (Schwoerer et al., 2011). For the purpose of investigating the influence of electron donating groups on the photochromic and redox reactions of thiocarbazonatophenylmercury(II) complexes a series of electronically altered dithizones were synthesized and for the first time complexed with mercury. Deep orange-red needle crystals of the ortho-methoxy derivative, suitable for X-ray crystallography, were isolated from a dichloromethane solution overlaid with ethanol.
The title compound (Fig. 1, Table 1) shows the metal-phenyl moiety coordinated out of plane to the (2-methoxyphenyl)thiocarbazonate by 43.84 (6)°. The methoxy moieties are slightly twisted out of planarity with their respective phenyl rings [C12—C13—O1—C14 = 22.0 (7)° and C19—C20—O2—C21 = 16.1 (6)°]. Important geometrical parameters include Hg—S = 2.3653 (10) Å, Hg—C = 2.058 (4) Å, and 〈 S—Hg—C = 179.06 (11)°. There is a weak coordination of a N-atom of the thiocarbazonate to Hg (Hg—N = 2.725 (3) Å). S···Hg interactions stabilizes the crystal packing (Fig. 2).
