The structure of the title compound, [CrCl2(C2H6OS)4]Cl·C2H6OS, consists of a CrIII ion coordinated by four O atoms of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) ligands and two chloride ions in cis positions, forming a distorted CrCl2O4 octahedron. An isolated Cl− counter-anion and a positionally disordered DMSO molecule [occupancy ratio 0.654 (4):0.346 (4)] are also present. In the structure, the complex cations interact with the Cl− counter-anions and the DMSO solvent molecules via weak C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.

Complex (I) was prepared by the method described by Pedersen (1970), but on a smaller scale with excess DMSO and other volatile materials removed under dynamic vacuum at 373 K for 5h. The green solid obtained was crystallized by slow diffusion of methanol into a concentrated solution of the complex in DMSO to yield bright green crystals.

The uncoordinating DMSO molecule is disordered over two sets of sites. of the disorder (occupancy ratio 0.654 (4):0.346 (4)) has been performed using PART 1, PART 2 and FVAR in SHELXL (Sheldrick, 2008). Atoms in close proximity have been refined with identical or similar displacement parameters using SIMU and ISOR instructions in SHELXL. The methyl hydrogen atoms for the disordered solvent have been refined using a riding model with staggered idealized geometry and displacement parameters 1.5 times those of the carbon atoms they are bonded to.cis-Dichloridotetrakis(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)chromium(III) chloride dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate Metal adducts of aprotic volatile organic solvents have been extensively studied, but the potential of non-volatile aprotic solvent-metal adducts as precursors for useful metal complexes has not been systematically evaluated. The present results are part of a systematic study, including the preparation of anhydrous adducts formed between transition metals salts and non-volatile aprotic solvents (such as DMSO and DMF), their structure, bonding, solubility in common organic solvents, stability in air and the ease at which the coordinating non-volatile solvent molecules can be replaced by other organic molecules. DMSO is an aprotic, highly Its high makes it a good solvent for inorganic as well as organic compounds, and its electronic structure enables it to act as a donor molecule in the formation of coordination complexes with many metal salts. In addition, it can bind to the metal through either the oxygen or sulfur atoms. For examples, see: Boschmann & Wollaston (1982).
The molecular units of the title compound, [CrCl2(C2H6OS)4]Cl.C2H6OS, (I), are shown in Fig. 1. The complex cation consists of a chromium(III) ion coordinated by the oxygen atoms of four DMSO molecules with Cr—O distances in the range 1.978 (2)–1.996 (2) Å and two cis-positioned chloride ions with Cr—Cl distances of 2.3252 (10) and 2.3302 (9) Å to complete a distorted octahedral geometry. A third and isolated chloride ion balances the charge. An additional uncoordinating DMSO molecule occupies a location displaying disorder with two components with occupancies of 0.654 (4):0.346 (4). In the crystal, the methyl groups of the DMSO ligands interact with the chloride ions and solvent DMSO ligands via weak C—H···Cl and C—H···O interactions forming a three-dimensional network (Table 1, Fig. 2).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

cis-Dichloridotetrakis(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)chromium(III) chloride dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate Metal adducts of aprotic volatile organic solvents have been extensively studied, but the potential of non-volatile aprotic solvent-metal adducts as precursors for useful metal complexes has not been systematically evaluated. The present results are part of a systematic study, including the preparation of anhydrous adducts formed between transition metals salts and non-volatile aprotic solvents (such as DMSO and DMF), their structure, bonding, solubility in common organic solvents, stability in air and the ease at which the coordinating non-volatile solvent molecules can be replaced by other organic molecules. DMSO is an aprotic, highly polar solvent. Its high dielectric constant makes it a good solvent for inorganic as well as organic compounds, and its electronic structure enables it to act as a donor molecule in the formation of coordination complexes with many metal salts. In addition, it can bind to the metal through either the oxygen or sulfur atoms. For examples, see: Boschmann & Wollaston (1982).
The molecular units of the title compound, [CrCl2(C2H6OS)4]Cl.C2H6OS, (I), are shown in Fig. 1. The complex cation consists of a chromium(III) ion coordinated by the oxygen atoms of four DMSO molecules with Cr—O distances in the range 1.978 (2)–1.996 (2) Å and two cis-positioned chloride ions with Cr—Cl distances of 2.3252 (10) and 2.3302 (9) Å to complete a distorted octahedral geometry. A third and isolated chloride ion balances the charge. An additional uncoordinating DMSO molecule occupies a location displaying disorder with two components with occupancies of 0.654 (4):0.346 (4). In the crystal, the methyl groups of the DMSO ligands interact with the chloride ions and solvent DMSO ligands via weak C—H···Cl and C—H···O interactions forming a three-dimensional network (Table 1, Fig. 2).
