(Received 6 October 2012; accepted 7 October 2012; online 13 October 2012)

In the title compound, [CoBr2(C12H12N2)], the CoII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry by two N atoms from a 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand and by two terminal Br atoms. Inter­molecular C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and ππ stacking between the pyridine rings in the bc plane [centroid–centroid distance = 3.725 (3) Å] are present in the crystal structure.

Comment top

6,6'-Dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (6,6'-dmbipy), is a good bidentate ligand, and numerous complexes with 6,6'-dmbipy have been prepared, such as that of zinc (Alizadeh et al., 2009), copper (Itoh et al., 2005), cadmium (Shirvan & Haydari Dezfuli, 2012), cobalt (Akbarzadeh Torbati et al., 2010), nickel (Kou et al., 2008), ruthenium (Onggo et al., 2005) and mercury (Alizadeh et al., 2011). We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.

In the title compound, (Fig. 1), the CoII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two N atoms from a 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine and two terminal Br atoms. The Co—Br and Co—N bond lengths and angles are collected in Table 1.

In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H···Br hydrogen bonds (Table 2) and π-π contacts (Fig. 2) between the pyridine rings, Cg2—Cg3i [symmetry cods: (i) -x, 1 - y, -z, where Cg2 and Cg3 are centroids of the rings (N1/C2–C6) and (N2/C7–C11), respectively] may stabilize the structure, with centroid–centroid distance of 3.725 (3) Å.

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, a solution of 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (0.25 g, 1.33 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added to a solution of CoBr2 (0.29 g, 1.33 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 ml) and the resulting blue solution was stirred for 15 min at 313 K. This solution was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After one week, blue block crystals of the title compound were isolated (yield 0.41 g, 76.5%).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms.

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.
