Reaction of cadmium thio­cyanate with 2-chloro­pyrazine leads to the polymeric title compound, [Cd(NCS)2(C4H3ClN2)2]n. The CdII cation, which is located on a center of inversion, is coordinated by two N-bonded and two S-bonded thio­cyanate anions and by two N-bonded 2-chloro­pyrazine ligands within a slightly distorted octa­hedron. The CdII cations are linked into chains along the a axis by bridging thio­cyanate anions.

Comment top

Recently we have reported on the synthesis and characterization of cadmium(II) thiocyanato coordination polymers with different neutral N-donor co-ligands. For [Cd(NCS)2(4-ethylpyridine)2]n a one-dimensional structure was observed, in which the metal cations are octahedrally coordinated by two N and two S atoms of the thiocyanato anions and two N atoms of the co-ligands all of them in an all-trans coordination (Wöhlert et al., 2013). In contrast, for [Cd(NCS)2(pyridine)2]n, three different modifications were obtained in which the anionic ligands are all-trans, all-cis or cis-cis-trans coordinated (Wöhlert et al., 2012). To investigate the influence of the neutral co-ligand in more detail, 2-chloropyrazine was selected, which can act as a bidentate as well as a monodentate ligand. Therefore, cadmium(II) thiocyanate was reacted with 2-chloropyrazine in water which results in the formation of single crystals suitable for structure determination.

The crystal structure of [Cd(NCS)2(2-chloropyrazine)2]n consists of cadmium(II) cations that are located on centers of inversion as well as of thiocyanato anions and 2-chloropyrazine ligand in general position. Each cadmium(II) cation is coordinated by two N-bonded and two S-bonded thiocyanato anions as well as two 2-chloropyrazine ligands within a slightly distorted octahedral geometry (Fig. 1). The CdN4S2 distances ranges from 2.287 (3) Å to 2.7071 (9) Å with angles arround the cadmium(II) cation between 87.75 (8) ° to 92.25 (8) ° and of 180 ° (Tab. 1). In the crystal structure the cadmium(II) cations are connected through µ-1,3 bridging thiocyanato anions into one-dimensional polymeric chains, in which all thiocyanato anions and the 2-chloropyrazine ligand are trans-coordinated (Fig. 2). The intrachain cadmium-cadmium separation amounts to 5.7151 (6) Å, whereas the shortest interchain Cd—Cd distance is 11.2915 (13) Å. This structural motiv is frequently found in cadmium thiocyanato coordination compounds and might represent the most stable coordination. However, in this context it is noted that for [Cd(NCS)2(pyridine)2]n, the form with a cis-cis-trans coordination represents the thermodynamic stable form at room-temperature and this might be an exception (Wöhlert et al., 2012).

Experimental top

CdSO4x8/3H2O, Ba(NCS)2x3H2O and 2-chloropyrazine were obtained from Alfa Aesar. All chemicals were used without further purification. Cd(NCS)2 was prepared by the reaction of equimolar amounts of CdSO4x8/3H2O with Ba(NCS)2x3H2O in water. The resulting precipitate of BaSO4 were filtered off and the filtrate were concentrated to complete dryness resulting in white residues of Cd(NCS)2. The purity was checked by XRPD and CHNS analysis. 0.1 mmol (22.0 mg) Cd(NCS)2 and 0.4 mmol (32.0 µL) 2-chloropyrazine were reacted in 1 ml water. Colorless single crystals of the title compound were obtained after three days.

Refinement top

All H atoms were located in difference map but were positioned with idealized geometry and were refined isotropic with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å.

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.
