In the title compound, [Ru(C₁₄H₁₆N₄)(C₁₆H₈N₄)](PF₆)₂·1.422CH₃CN, discrete dimers of complex cations, [Ru(L–N₄H₂)tape]²⁺ are formed {L–N₄H₂ = 2,11-diaza[3.3](2,6)pyridinophane; tape = 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene}, held together by π–π stacking interactions via the tape ligand moieties with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.49 (2) Å, assisted by hydrogen bonds between the non-coordinating tape ligand α,α′-diimine unit and the amine proton of a 2,11-diaza[3.3](2,6)-pyridinophane ligand of the opposite complex cation. The combination of these interactions leads to an unusual nearly face-to-face π–π stacking mode. Additional weak C—H⋯N, C—H⋯F, N—H⋯F and P—F⋯π-ring (tape, py) (with F⋯centroid distances of 2.925–3.984 Å) interactions are found, leading to a three-dimensional architecture. The Ru^II atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry, particularly manifested by the N_amine—Ru—N_amine angle of 153.79 (10)°. The counter-charge is provided by two hexafluoridophosphate anions and the asymmetric unit is completed by acetonitrile solvent molecules of crystallization. Disorder was observed for both the hexafluoridophosphate anions as well as the acetonitrile solvate molecules, with occupancies for the major moieties of 0.801 (6) for one of the PF₆ anions, and a shared occupancy of 0.9215 (17) for the second PF₆ anion and a partially occupied acetonitrile molecule. A second CH₃CN molecule is fully occupied, but 1:1 disordered across a crystallographic inversion center.

Keywords: crystal structure; coordination compound; ruthenium; stacking.

1. Chemical context

Heteroaromatic ligands with more than three fused rings are commonly called large-surface ligands. Such ligands have attracted attention due to their use as connecting building blocks for supramolecular assemblies. If large-surface ligands feature more than one ligand donor site, connection between neighboring complexes can be realized through normal metal coordination (Ishow et al., 1998 ), but the large π system also allows for strong π–π stacking interactions. (Kammer et al., 2006 ; Gut et al., 2002 ). In order to study the properties of ruthenium complexes containing large-surface ligands, we have recently reported an easy entry to such complexes (Brietzke, Mickler, Kelling, Schilde et al., 2012 ). Therein, we formulated the advantages of the 2,11-dimethyl-2,11-diaza[3.3](2,6)-pyridinophane (L–N₄Me₂) macrocycle over bipyridine (bpy)-type ligands in saturating the coordination sphere of an octahedral ruthenium complex containing the large-surface ligand of interest. The microwave-assisted synthesis of the precursor [Ru(L–N₄Me₂)]²⁺, starting from [Ru(DMSO)₄Cl₂] and L–N₄Me₂, in an ethanolic solution finished within 30 min. It is not only fast, but also reproducible with only few byproducts, and hence requires no labor-intensive workup. Moreover, using the C_2v symmetric macrocycle rather than bipyridine-type ligands avoids the formation of mono- and dinuclear complexes with multiple stereoisomeric forms (Brietzke, Mickler, Kelling & Holdt, 2012 ; Brietzke et al., 2014 ). To test the applicability of our microwave-assisted synthetic strategy for use with other related macrocyclic ligands, we choose the unmethylated parent compound of L–N₄Me₂, 2,11-diaza[3.3](2,6)-pyridinophane (L–N₄H₂) as a new ligand for Ru^II. Herein, we present the structure of the complex [Ru(L–N₄H₂)tape](PF₆)₂, (tape = 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene), obtained as its acetonitrile solvate.

2. Structural commentary

Fig. 1 illustrates the molecular structure of the complex [Ru(L–N₄H₂)tape]²⁺ in [Ru(C₁₄H₁₆N₄)(C₁₆H₈N₄](PF₆)₂·1.422CH₃CN. The Ru—N bond lengths formed by the tape ligand (Table 1) are very close to those reported earlier for [Ru(L–N₄Me₂)tape]²⁺ (Brietzke, Mickler, Kelling, Schilde et al., 2012). The deviation of the N_amine—Ru—N_amine angle [153.79 (10)°] from the idealized value of 180° is slightly larger than for analogous ruthenium L–N₄Me₂ complexes [155.46 (9)–155.93 (17)°; Brietzke, Mickler, Kelling, Schilde et al., 2012].

3. Supramolecular features

In the crystal structure, the cations form discrete centrosymmetric dimers, similar to those seen previously in mononuclear ruthenium–tape complexes. The dimers are held together by π–π stacking interactions via the planar tetraazaperylene units, with a typical interplanar distance of 3.39 Å. For the tape ligand, the root-mean-square deviation from planarity was calculated to be 0.0211 Å. However, in the case of [Ru(L–N₄H₂)tape]²⁺, the dimers are also connected through bifurcated hydrogen bonds between one of the two L–N₄H₂ ligand amine protons and both nitrogen atoms of the non-coordinating tape ligand α,α′-diimine unit of the second complex cation of the dimer. In the crystal structure, these additional hydrogen bonds result in a short Ru⋯Ru distance of 8.8306 (2) Å, a tape ligand centroid–centroid distance of 3.49 (2) Å and an angle of 13.7 (1.4)° between the ring normal and the centroid-to-centroid vector. Therefore, the π–π stacking motif can be described as parallel-displaced, but near to face-to-face (Fig. 2). In metal complexes, a near face-to-face alignment of the polycyclic units is extremely rare (Janiak, 2000 ). Furthermore, a large number of weak hydrogen bonds connect cations, anions and solvent molecules, stabilizing the crystal packing (Table 2), supported by P—F⋯π-ring (tape, py) interactions with F⋯centroid distances from 2.925 to 3.984 Å. In the packing, the dimers are oriented in a herringbone-like motif, surrounded by hexafluoridophosphate anions. The solvent acetonitrile molecules fill the space between complex moieties (Fig. 3). For a description of the disorder of the anions and solvent molecules, see the Refinement section.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

The syntheses of the ligands L–N₄H₂ (Bottino et al., 1988 ) and tape (Brietzke, Mickler, Kelling & Holdt, 2012) have been reported previously. [Ru(L–N₄H₂)tape](PF₆)₂ was synthesized as reported for [Ru(L–N₄Me₂)tape](PF₆)₂ (Brietzke, Mickler, Kelling, Schilde et al., 2012), using L–N₄H₂ (73.5 mg, 306 µmol) instead of L–N₄Me₂. A yield of 44% (120.0 mg, 135 µmol) was obtained; m.p. > 573 K. ¹H NMR = (MeCN–d₃): δ = 8.69 (d, J = 5.5 Hz, 2H, C^d—H), 8.56 (d, J = 6.6 Hz, 2H, C^a—H), 8.01 (t, J = 8.0 Hz, 2H, C⁴—H), 7.77 (d, J = 5.5 Hz, 2H, C^c—H), 7.72 (d, J = 6.6 Hz, 2H, C^b—H), 7.65 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 4H, C³—H + C⁵—H), 5.6 (bs, 2H, N—H), 4.83 (bd, J = 14.0 Hz, 4H, CH₂), 4.47 (d, J = 17.4 Hz, 4H, CH₂) p.p.m. ¹³C NMR = (MeCN-d₃): δ = 160.0 (C² + C⁶), 152.4 (C^e), 150.28 (C^d), 150.24 (C^a), 145.7 (C^f), 138.9 (C⁴), 136.7 (C^b′), 123.5 (C^b), 122.7 (C³ + C⁵), 122.0 (C^c), 119.3 (C^e′), 64.8 (CH₂) p.p.m. ESI=-MS: calculated for [M–PF₆]⁺ 743.0809; found 743.0778.

Crystals suitable for X-ray structure analysis were obtained by vapor diffusion of diethyl ether into a saturated acetonitrile solution of [Ru(L–N₄H₂)tape](PF₆)₂. The solution was filled into a test tube, which was placed into a diethyl ether-containing bottle. Dark-green crystals began to form at ambient temperature within a few days.

6. Refinement

Disorder was observed for both the hexafluoridophosphate anions as well as the acetonitrile solvate molecules. Both PF₆ anions were refined as disordered over one major and one minor moiety each. The geometry of the minor moieties were each restrained to be similar to that of the major moieties (within an estimated standard deviation of 0.02 Å). The minor moieties were subjected to a rigid bond restraint (RIGU command of SHELX2014, estimated standard deviation 0.004 Å²), and the anisotropic displacement parameters of the major and minor phosphorus atoms were each constrained to be identical. Associated with the major moiety of the PF₆ anion of P1 is an acetonitrile molecule that is absent for the minor moiety. Subject to the restraints and constraints used, the occupancy ratios refined to 0.9215 (17) to 0.0785 (17) for the PF₆ units of P1A and P1B, and to 0.801 (6) and 0.199 (6) for those of P2A and P2B.

A second acetonitrile molecule is disordered across a crystallographic inversion center, with substantial overlap for the two carbon atoms of symmetry-related molecules. The geometry of the molecule was restrained to be similar to that of the first acetonitrile molecule, and the ADPs of its C and N atoms were restrained to be have similar U_ij components to their neighbors closer than 2 Å, including those of symmetry-related atoms (SIMU restraint in SHELX2014, estimated standard deviation 0.01 Å²).

All hydrogen atoms connected to C and N atoms were placed in their expected calculated positions and refined as riding with C—H = 0.98 (CH₃), 0.99 (CH₂), 0.95 (C_arom), N—H = 1.0 Å, and with U_iso(H) = 1.2U_eq(C) with the exception of methyl hydrogen atoms, which were refined with U_iso(H) = 1.5U_eq(C).

Structural commentary top

Fig. 1 illustrates the molecular structure of the complex [Ru(L–N₄H₂)tape]²⁺ in [Ru(C₁₄H₁₆N₄)(C₁₆H₈N₄](PF₆)₂·1.422 C₂H₃N. The Ru—N bond lengths formed by the tape ligand (Table 1) are very close to those reported earlier for [Ru(L–N₄Me₂)tape]²⁺ (Brietzke, Mickler, Kelling, Schilde et al., 2012). The deviation of the N_amine—Ru—N_amine angle [153.79 (10)°] from the idealized value of 180° is slightly larger than for analogous ruthenium L–N₄Me₂ complexes [155.46 (9)–155.93 (17)°; Brietzke, Mickler, Kelling, Schilde et al., 2012].

Supramolecular features top

In the solid state, the cations form discrete centrosymmetric dimers, similar to those seen previously in mononuclear ruthenium–tape complexes. The dimers are held together by π–π stacking interactions via the planar tetraazaperylene units, with a typical interplanar distance of 3.39 Å. For the tape ligand, the root-mean-square deviation from planarity was calculated to be 0.0211 Å. However, in the case of [Ru(L–N₄H₂)tape]²⁺, the dimers are also connected through bifurcated hydrogen bonds between one of the two L–N₄H₂ ligand amine protons and both nitrogen atoms of the uncoordinated tape ligand α,α'-diimine unit of the second complex cation of the dimer. In the solid state, these additional hydrogen bonds result in a short Ru···Ru distance of 8.8306 (2) Å, a tape ligand centroid–centroid distance of 3.49 (2) Å and an angle of 13.7 (1.4)° between the ring normal and the centroid-to-centroid vector. Therefore, the π–π stacking motif can be described as parallel-displaced, but near to face-to-face (Fig. 2). In metal complexes, a near face-to-face alignment of the polycyclic units is extremely rare (Janiak, 2000). Furthermore, a large number of weak hydrogen bonds connect cations, anions and solvent molecules, stabilizing the crystal packing (Table 2), supported by P—F···π-ring (tape, py) interactions [please provide some numerical details]. In the packing, the dimers are oriented in a herringbone-like motif, surrounded by hexafluoridophosphate anions. The solvent acetonitrile molecules fill the space between complex moieties (Fig. 3). For a description of the disorder of the anions and solvent molecules, see the Refinement section.

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3.

Special details top

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