The title compound, [Ni(C64H33F10N5S2)]·xCH2Cl2, consists of discrete NiII porphyrin complexes, in which the five-coordinate NiII cations are in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The four porphyrin nitro­gen atoms are located in the basal plane of the pyramid, whereas the pyridine N atom is in the apical position. The porphyrin plane is strongly distorted and the NiII cation is located above this plane by 0.241 (3) Å and shifted in the direction of the coordinating pyridine nitro­gen atom. The pyridine ring is not perpendicular to the N4 plane of the porphyrin moiety, as observed for related compounds. In the crystal, the complexes are linked via weak C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains propagating in the [001] direction. Within this arrangement cavities are formed, in which highly disordered di­chloro­methane solvate mol­ecules are located. No reasonable structural model could be found to describe this disorder and therefore the contribution of the solvent to the electron density was removed using the SQUEEZE option in PLATON [Spek (2015[Spek, A. L. (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9-18.]). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18].

1. Chemical context

NiII porphyrins are emerging in a number of applications including photoswitchable MRI contrast agents (Venkataramani et al., 2011[Venkataramani, S., Jana, U., Dommaschk, M., Sönnichsen, F. D., Tuczek, F. & Herges, R. (2011). Science, 331, 445-448.]; Dommaschk et al., 2014[Dommaschk, M., Schütt, C., Venkataramani, S., Jana, U., Näther, C., Sönnichsen, F. D. & Herges, R. (2014). Dalton Trans. 43, 17395-17405.], 2015a[Dommaschk, M., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2015a). J. Org. Chem. 80, 8496-8500.],b[Dommaschk, M., Peters, M., Gutzeit, F., Schütt, C., Näther, C., Sönnichsen, F. D., Tiwari, S., Riedel, C., Boretius, S. & Herges, R. (2015b). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 137, 7552-7555.]), redox catalysts (Eom et al., 1997[Eom, H. S., Jeoung, S. C., Kim, D., Ha, J.-H. & Kim, Y.-R. (1997). J. Phys. Chem. A, 101, 3661-3669.]; Han et al., 2015[Han, Y., Wu, Y., Lai, W. & Cao, R. (2015). Inorg. Chem. 54, 5604-5613.]) or catalysts in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) (Han et al., 2016[Han, Y., Fang, H., Jing, H., Sun, H., Lei, H., Lai, W. & Cao, R. (2016). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 55, 5457-5462.]; Solis et al., 2016[Solis, B. H., Maher, A. G., Dogutan, D. K., Nocera, D. G. & Hammes-Schiffer, S. (2016). Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 113, 485-492.]; Maher et al., 2019[Maher, A. G., Liu, M. & Nocera, D. G. (2019). Inorg. Chem. 58, 7958-7968.]). The axial coordination of NiII porphyrins has been studied extensively regarding the underlying equlibria (Caughey et al., 1962[Caughey, W. S., Deal, R. M., McLees, B. D. & Alben, J. O. (1962). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 84, 1735-1736.]; McLees & Caughey, 1968[McLees, B. D. & Caughey, W. S. (1968). Biochemistry, 7, 642-652.]; Walker et al. 1975[Walker, F. A., Hui, E. & Walker, J. M. (1975). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 97, 2390-2397.]), conformational changes (Jia et al., 1998[Jia, S.-L., Jentzen, W., Shang, M., Song, X.-Z., Ma, J.-G., Scheidt, W. R. & Shelnutt, J. A. (1998). Inorg. Chem. 37, 4402-4412.]) and photo-induced complex formation and dissociation (Kim et al., 1983[Kim, D., Kirmaier, C. & Holten, D. (1983). Chem. Phys. 75, 305-322.]; Kim & Holten, 1983[Kim, D. & Holten, D. (1983). Chem. Phys. Lett. 98, 584-589.]). Moreover, the axial coordination determines the spin state of these complexes (Renner et al., 1991[Renner, M. W., Furenlid, L. R., Barkigia, K. M., Forman, A., Shim, H. K., Simpson, D. J., Smith, K. M. & Fajer, J. (1991). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 113, 6891-6898.]; Jentzen et al., 1995[Jentzen, W., Simpson, M. C., Hobbs, J. D., Song, X., Ema, T., Nelson, N. Y., Medforth, C. J., Smith, K. M., Veyrat, M., Mazzanti, M., Ramasseul, R., Marchon, J., Takeuchi, T., Goddard, W. A. III & Shelnutt, J. A. (1995). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 117, 11085-11097.]). Upon coordination of one axial ligand, NiII porphyrins undergo spin transition from a diamagnetic (S = 0) square-planar, low-spin (LS) state with a coordination number (CN) of four (CN4) to a paramagnetic (S = 1), square-pyramidal (CN5), high-spin (HS) state. The CN5 HS complex is further stabilized by the coordination of a sixth ligand, resulting in minor changes of the spectroscopic properties of the CN6 complexes compared to their CN5 counterparts. The coordination and de-coord­in­ation of axial ligands are observed in a fast dynamic equilibrium, dominated by the CN4 and the CN6 species (Kadish et al., 2000[Kadish, K. M., Smith, K. M. & Guilard, R. (2000). Editors. The Porphyrin Handbook - Inorganic, Organometallic & Coordination Chemistry, vol. 3. San Diego, London: Academic Press.] and Kruglik et al., 2003[Kruglik, S. G., Ermolenkov, V. V., Orlovich, V. A. & Turpin, P.-Y. (2003). Chem. Phys. 286, 97-108.]). The spectra and properties of a well defined five-coordinate (CN5) NiII porphyrin in solution and the solid state was described recently (Gutzeit et al., 2019a[Gutzeit, F., Dommaschk, M., Levin, N., Buchholz, A., Schaub, E., Plass, W., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2019a). Inorg. Chem. XX, XX-XX. [Any update?]]). In closely related, tightly strapped NiII porphyrins, the coordination of the axial pyridine ligand is dependent on the geometry of the ligand-containing strap (Köbke et al., 2019[Köbke, A., Gutzeit, F., Röhricht, F., Schlimm, A., Grunwald, J., Tuczek, F., Studniarek, M., Choueikani, F., Otero, E., Ohresser, P., Rohlf, S., Johannsen, S., Diekmann, F., Rossnagel, K., Jasper-Toennies, T., Näther, C., Herges, R., Berndt, R. & Gruber, M. (2019). Nat. Nanotechnol. Submitted.]). Furthermore, the coordination behaviour is dependent on the para substituent of the pyridine moiety due to its electronic influence (Dommaschk et al., 2014[Dommaschk, M., Schütt, C., Venkataramani, S., Jana, U., Näther, C., Sönnichsen, F. D. & Herges, R. (2014). Dalton Trans. 43, 17395-17405.]). Hence, a para methyl substituent was introduced in the complex described previously (Gutzeit et al., 2019a[Gutzeit, F., Dommaschk, M., Levin, N., Buchholz, A., Schaub, E., Plass, W., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2019a). Inorg. Chem. XX, XX-XX. [Any update?]]) to improve the intra­molecular coordination. The modified synthesis yielded the title compound as a byproduct (Gutzeit et al., 2019a[Gutzeit, F., Dommaschk, M., Levin, N., Buchholz, A., Schaub, E., Plass, W., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2019a). Inorg. Chem. XX, XX-XX. [Any update?]]; Köbke et al., 2019[Köbke, A., Gutzeit, F., Röhricht, F., Schlimm, A., Grunwald, J., Tuczek, F., Studniarek, M., Choueikani, F., Otero, E., Ohresser, P., Rohlf, S., Johannsen, S., Diekmann, F., Rossnagel, K., Jasper-Toennies, T., Näther, C., Herges, R., Berndt, R. & Gruber, M. (2019). Nat. Nanotechnol. Submitted.]) similar to the synthesis of the unsubstituted derivative (Gutzeit et al., 2019b[Gutzeit, F., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2019b). Acta Cryst. E75, 1180-1184.]). Metallation was achieved under standard conditions. Splitting of the CH2-proton signals in the 1H NMR spectrum are observed for the unmetallated porphyrin and the title compound due to an impeded ring inversion of the strap (Gutzeit et al., 2019b[Gutzeit, F., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2019b). Acta Cryst. E75, 1180-1184.]). The increased paramagnetic shifts of the β-pyrrole H atoms (δmin = 8.8 ppm, δmax = 49.0 ppm, CDCl3, 298 K; Gutzeit et al., 2019a[Gutzeit, F., Dommaschk, M., Levin, N., Buchholz, A., Schaub, E., Plass, W., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2019a). Inorg. Chem. XX, XX-XX. [Any update?]]) of the title compound (45.9 ppm) compared to the compound without a methyl group in para position of the pyridine ring (42.2 ppm) indicates an increase of intra­molecular coordination by 9% (Fig. 1[link]; Gutzeit et al., 2019a[Gutzeit, F., Dommaschk, M., Levin, N., Buchholz, A., Schaub, E., Plass, W., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2019a). Inorg. Chem. XX, XX-XX. [Any update?]]), confirming the influence of the para methyl substituent.

2. Structural commentary

In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C64H33F10N5NiS2) (CH2Cl2)x, the five-coordinate NiII cations are bound by the four nitro­gen atoms of the porphyrin mol­ecule and the nitro­gen atom of the pyridine ring (Figs. 2[link]–4[link][link]). The porphyrin plane is distorted due to steric constraints of the strap, similar to the unsubstituted derivative (Gutzeit et al., 2019b[Gutzeit, F., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2019b). Acta Cryst. E75, 1180-1184.]). The maximum deviation of the individual atoms from the mean plane calculated through the porphyrin atoms amounting to 0.137 (3) Å for the parent compound (Gutzeit et al., 2019b[Gutzeit, F., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2019b). Acta Cryst. E75, 1180-1184.]) is increased to 0.159 (4) Å in the title compound. The Ni—N bond lengths to the porphyrin nitro­gen atoms [2.031 (3)–2.041 (3) Å] are significantly shorter than that to the pyridine nitro­gen atom (Table 1[link]). In the title compound, the NiII cation is shifted 0.241 (3) Å out of the porphyrin N4 plane towards the pyridine nitro­gen atom, which is slightly shorter than that in the derivative without the methyl group [0.250 (3) Å, Fig. 5[link]]. This is also the case for the Ni—N distance to the pyridine N atom of 2.106 (3) Å, compared to 2.112 (2) Å in the derivative. The angle between the planes of the pyridine ring and the N4 porphyrin plane amounts to 67.1 (2)°, which is very different from that in the derivative without the methyl group [80.48 (6)°; Fig. 5[link]]. The tilt of the pyridine ring does not impede the intra­molecular coordination, which is reflected by the short Ni—Npy (py = pyridine) distance and the NMR shift. The tilt of the axial ligand is reinforced by packing effects leveraged by the para methyl group. This is also in agreement with a different conformation of the overall porphyrin mol­ecule compared to the unsubstituted derivative, because the penta­fluoro phenyl rings are more perpendicular to the porphyrin N4 plane with dihedral angles of 82.53 (8) and 77.37 (7)°, which is also the case for the phenyl rings [67.0 (1) and 83.4 (2)°; Figs. 3[link] and 4[link]]. Finally, the dihedral angles between the biphenyl rings are 72.3 (2) and 64.3 (2) ° compared to 63.2 (1) and 53.5 (1)° in the derivative. Overall, the increased steric demand of the para methyl substituent increases the distortion compared to the unsubstituted derivative.

3. Supra­molecular features

In the extended structure of the title compound, the complexes are linked by C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains that extend in the [001] direction with adjacent complexes related by a 21-screw-axis (Fig. 6[link]). The C—H⋯F angle is 164°, indicating a relative strong inter­action (Table 2[link]). By this arrangement, cavities are formed, in which the disordered di­chloro­methane solvate mol­ecules are located. There are additional intra­molecular C—H⋯N contacts, with angles far from linearity that correspond to only very weak inter­actions (Table 2[link]).

4. Database survey

According to a search of the Cambridge Structural Database, only four crystal structures of five-coordinate NiII porphyrins have been reported (Kumar & Sankar, 2014[Kumar, R. & Sankar, M. (2014). Inorg. Chem. 53, 12706-12719.]; Dommaschk et al., 2015c[Dommaschk, M., Thoms, V., Schütt, C., Näther, C., Puttreddy, R., Rissanen, K. & Herges, R. (2015c). Inorg. Chem. 54, 9390-9392.]; Gutzeit et al., 2019a[Gutzeit, F., Dommaschk, M., Levin, N., Buchholz, A., Schaub, E., Plass, W., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2019a). Inorg. Chem. XX, XX-XX.

The square-pyramidal complex geometry is predominant in zinc (Paul et al., 2003[Paul, D., Melin, F., Hirtz, C., Wytko, J., Ochsenbein, P., Bonin, M., Schenk, K., Maltese, P. & Weiss, J. (2003).

J. 20, 11574-11583.]) and iron (Awasabisah et al., 2015[Awasabisah, D., Powell, D. R. & Richter-Addo, G. B. (2015). Acta Cryst. E71, m42-m43.]; Yu et al., 2015[Yu, Q., Liu, D. S., Li, X. J. & Li, J. F. (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 856-859.]) porphyrins. Zinc porphyrins form five-coordinate complexes additionally with oxygen-containing ligands (Leben et al., 2018[Leben, L., Schaub, E., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2018). Acta Cryst. E74, 1609-1612.]), a behaviour uncommon in NiII porphyrins (Ozette et al., 1997[Ozette, K., Leduc, P., Palacio, M., Bartoli, J.-F., Barkigia, K. M., Fajer, J., Battioni, P. & Mansuy, D. (1997). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 119, 6442-6443.]). The conformation of the porphyrin (Flanagan et al., 2015[Flanagan, K. J., Mothi, E. M., Kötzner, L. & Senge, M. O. (2015). Acta Cryst. E71, 1397-1400.]; Senge, 2011[Senge, M. O. (2011). Acta Cryst. C67, m39-m42.]) has been recognized as an important factor for the axial coordination, spin state (Thies et al., 2010[Thies, S., Bornholdt, C., Köhler, F., Sönnichsen, F. D., Näther, C., Tuczek, F. & Herges, R. (2010). Chem. Eur. J. 16, 10074-10083.]; Dommaschk et al., 2014[Dommaschk, M., Schütt, C., Venkataramani, S., Jana, U., Näther, C., Sönnichsen, F. D. & Herges, R. (2014). Dalton Trans. 43, 17395-17405.]) and catalytic activity (Ramesh et al., 2016[Ramesh, J., Sujatha, S. & Arunkumar, C. (2016). RSC Adv. 6, 63271-63285.]) of these complexes.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

The free base porphyrin of the title compound was obtained as a byproduct of a variant of the published procedure (Gutzeit et al., 2019a[Gutzeit, F., Dommaschk, M., Levin, N., Buchholz, A., Schaub, E., Plass, W., Näther, C. & Herges, R. (2019a). Inorg. Chem. XX, XX-XX.

(2019). Nat. Nanotechnol. Submitted.]). The free base porphyrins were separated by column chromatography (silica gel, di­chloro­methane; silica gel, di­chloro­methane/n-pentane, 1:1 and silica gel, toluene) and precipitated from di­chloro­methane by diffusion of methanol (59 mg, 3%).

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3[link]. The C—H hydrogen atoms were located in difference maps but were positioned with idealized geometry (C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å) and refined isotropically with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C-meth­yl) using a riding model.

After structure refinement using a model with one Ni porphyrin complex and a half di­chloro­methane solvate mol­ecule disordered around a center of inversion, there was significant residual electron density that definitely corres­ponds to additional di­chloro­methane disordered over several orientations. A number of different split models were tried using restraints for the geometry and for the components of the anisotropic displacement parameters, but no reasonable structural model was found and very large anisotropic displacement parameters were obtained. Therefore, the contribution of this solvent to the electron density was removed with SQUEEZE in PLATON (Spek, 2009[Spek, A. L. (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155.], 2015[Spek, A. L. (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9-18.]), which leads to a reasonable structure model and very good reliability factors. By this procedure, the amount of di­chloro­methane cannot accurately be determined and there is indication that this position is not fully occupied, which is highly likely because this solvate is very unstable and already starts to decompose during the sample preparation.

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.
