Crystal structure of catena-poly[[aqua(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-κ³N,N′,N′′)cobalt(II)]-μ-cyanido-κ²N:C-[dicyanidoplatinum(II)]-μ-cyanido-κ²C:N]

The title compound, [Co(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(H₂O){Pt(CN)₄}]_n, is a one-dimensional coordination polymer formed under hydro­thermal reaction conditions. The Co^II site has sixfold coordination with a distorted octa­hedral geometry, while the Pt^II ion is coordinated by four cyanide groups in an almost regular square-planar geometry. The compound contains twofold rotation symmetry about its Co^II ion, the water molecule and the terpyridine ligand, and the Pt^II atom resides on an inversion center. trans-Bridging by the tetra­cyanidoplatinate(II) anions links the Co^II cations, forming chains parallel to [-101]. Additionally, each Co^II atom is coordin­ated by one water mol­ecule and one tridentate 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine ligand. O—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter­actions are found between adjacent chains and help to consolidate the crystal packing. In addition, relatively weak π–π stacking inter­actions exist between the terpyridine ligands of adjacent chains [inter­planar distance = 3.464 (7) Å]. No Pt⋯Pt inter­actions are observed in the structure.

S1. Comment

The title compound, (I), results from ongoing research concerning the synthesis of bimetallic coordination polymers containing cyano­metallates. Compound I is similar to several previously reported compounds in that it contains one-dimensional [Co(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(H₂O)(Pt(CN)₄)]_n chains reminiscent of those found in [Co(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(Pt(SCN)₄] (Kobayashi et al., 2013). Several related lanthanide coordination polymers Ln(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)[Pt(CN)₄].CH₃CN (Ln = Eu (Maynard et al., 2008) or Ln = Tb (Smith et al., 2012)) with tetra­cyano­platinate(II) are also known. The major structural differences between these latter structure types can be attributed to the higher coordination number that the Ln³⁺ ions typically adopt, relative to Co²⁺ (Guo et al., 2012).

The neutral, one-dimensional [Co(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(H₂O)(Pt(CN)₄)] chains in the structure of I are illustrated in Figure 1 and a thermal ellipsoid plot of the local metal ion environments are illustrated in Figure 2. The chains are formed by the linkage of the Co²⁺ cations by trans-bridging tetra­cyano­platinate anions. These are reminiscent of the chains found in the bimetallic compound [Mn(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(Pt(SCN)₄] (Kobayashi, et al., 2013), where similar bridging of the Mn²⁺ ion by the [(Pt(SCN)₄] anions are observed. The coordination of the Co site is six-fold and can be described as a distorted [CoON₅] o­cta­hedron while the Pt site has a four-fold coordination in a nearly regular square planar geometry. The compound contains two fold symmetry about its Co^II ion and the Pt^II resides on an inversion center. The five nitro­gen atoms in the inner sphere of the Co²⁺ cations result from the coordination of one tridentate terpyridine ligand and two N-bound TCP anions while the oxygen atom is a result of one coordinated water molecule. The Co—N, Co—O, and Pt—C bond distances are not extraordinary.

The predominant inter-chain features in I include inter-chain hydrogen bonding inter­actions, see hydrogen bond table, and also weak π-stacking inter­actions (3.464 (7) Å). Also worth noting is the orientation of the coordinated tpy molecules in the one-dimensional chains; viewing parallel to the chain reveals that these molecules are located on alternating sides of the chains. A similar situation also occurs in [Eu(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)Pt(CN)₄].CH₃CN (Maynard et al., 2008) while [Tb(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)Pt(CN)₄].3.5H₂O (Smith, et al., 2012) contains one-dimensional chains where all of the terpyridine molecules reside on a single side of the chain. There are not any platinophilic (Pt···Pt) inter­actions in this compound as observed in many previous tetra­cyano­platinate salts (Gliemann & Yersin, 1985).

S2. Synthesis and Crystallization

The title compound was synthesized by first mixing aqueous solutions of 0.05 M CoClO₄ and 0.05 M K₂[Pt(CN)₄] (500 µL each). A pink precipitate was immediately formed which was then separated from the mother liquor by centrifugation followed by decantation. The resultant pink solid was placed in an oven at 110 °C for approximately one hour during which time it underwent a color transformation from pink to violet purple. A few milligrams of the powder was placed into a 23 mL teflon-lined Parr reaction vessel with 500 µL of deionized water. The reaction vessel was then heated in a box oven at 110 °C for 72 hours. During this process, impregnated 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine leached out of the teflon liner into the reaction. Once the reaction vessel had cooled pink needle-shaped single crystals of the title compound were isolated.

S3. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 1. H-atoms were placed in calculated positions and allowed to ride during subsequent refinement, with U_iso(H) = 1.2U_eq(C) and C—H distances of 0.93 Å for ring hydrogens and U_iso(H) = 1.5U_eq(O) and O—H distances of 0.85 Å for hydrogen atoms of the water.

Special details

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 > 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.
