Bis(tri­phenyl­sulfonium) tetra­chlorido­manganate(II), (C18H15S)2[MnCl4] (I), tri­phenyl­sulfonium tetra­chlorido­ferrate(III), (C18H15S)[FeCl4] (II), and bis­(tri­phenyl­sulfonium) tetra­chlorido­cobaltate(II), (C18H15S)2[CoCl4] (III), crystallize in the monoclinic space groups P21/n [(I) and (III)] and P21/c [(II)]. Compounds (I) and (III) each contain two crystallographically independent tri­phenyl­sulfonium (TPS+) cations in the asymmetric unit, whereas (II) has one. In all three compounds, the sulfonium centers adopt distorted trigonal–pyramidal geometries, with S—C bond lengths falling roughly in the 1.78–1.79 Å range and C—S—C angles observed at about 101 to 106°. The [MCl4]n anions (M = Mn2+, Fe3+, Co2+; n = 2,1,2) adopt slightly distorted tetra­hedral geometries, with M—Cl bond lengths in the 2.19–2.38 Å range and Cl—M—Cl angles of approximately 104–113°. Hirshfeld surface analyses shows that H⋯H and H⋯C contacts dominate the TPS+ cation environments, whereas H⋯Cl and short M—S inter­actions link each [MCl4]n anion to the surrounding cations. In (I) and (III), inversion-centered ππ stacking further consolidates the crystal packing, while in (II) no ππ inter­actions are observed.

1. Chemical context

A number of recent reports have put tri­phenyl­sulfonium (TPS+) salts in the spotlight due to their wide applications across various chemical processes. For example, a recent report (Imai, et al., 2025[Imai, T., Hifumi, R., Inagi, S. & Tomita, I. (2025). J. Org. Chem. 90, 3420-3427.]) describes the development of new synthetic strategies to produce sterically demanding derivatives that improve the stability of the cation in basic environments. This enhanced stability is of inter­est to support anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) in both fuel cell and water-splitting technologies. These new TPS+ derivatives show promise in resisting degradation observed in other materials that are currently being used.

TPS+ salts are a subject of inter­est in photochemistry due to their role as photoacid generators (PAGs), producing acids in response to light exposure (Ohmori et al., 1998[Ohmori, N., Nakazono, Y., Hata, M., Hoshino, T. & Tsuda, M. (1998). J. Phys. Chem. B 102, 927-930.]). A previous report used tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate tri­phenyl­sulfonium as a PAG to engineer potential photolinking resists (Lin et al., 1997[Lin, Q., Steinhäusler, T., Simpson, L., Wilder, M., Medeiros, D., Willson, C. G., Havard, J. & Fréchet, J. (1997). Chem. Mater. 9, 1725-1730.]). This process has been significantly enhanced by adopting the tri­phenyl­sulfonium perfluoro-l-butane­sulfonate to produce high-resolution resist films, which are capable of being used in electron beam lithography (Zhang et al., 2025[Zhang, S., Cui, X., Cong, X., Wu, Y., Guo, X., Hu, R., Wang, S., Chen, J., Li, Y. & Yang, G. (2025). Chem. Mater. 37, 1914-1922.]). The photosensitive properties of these salts make them valuable in the production of computer chips and semiconductors (Kwon et al., 2014[Kwon, S. H., Park, S. & Kim, H. J. (2014). J. Semicond. Technol. 12, 245-260.]; Wang et al., 2023[Wang, X., Tao, P., Wang, Q., Zhao, R., Liu, T., Hu, Y., Hu, Z., Wang, Y., Wang, J., Tang, Y., Xu, H. & He, X. (2023). Mater. Today 67, 299-319.]) and applications in anti-counterfeiting (Luo et al., 2022a[Luo, Z., Liu, Y., Liu, Y., Li, C., Li, Y., Li, Q., Wei, Y., Zhang, L., Xu, B., Chang, X. & Quan, Z. (2022a). Adv. Mater. 34, 2200607.]).

[Scheme 1]

In this study, we report the crystal structures of three new TPS+ salts of first row transition-metal tetra­chlorido­metallate anions, namely: bis­(tri­phenyl­sulfonium) tetra­chlorido­mang­anate(II) (I) (Fig. 1[link]), tri­phenyl­sulfonium tetra­chlorido­ferrate(III) (II) (Fig. 2[link]), and bis­(tri­phenyl­sulfonium) tetra­chlorido­cobaltate(II) (III) (Fig. 3[link]). These structures provide information regarding the importance of the metal halide complex ions into the packing, ionic inter­actions and properties of the tri­phenyl­sulfonium cation.

3. Supra­molecular features

Figs. 4[link], 5[link] and 6[link] illustrate the crystal packings of compounds (I), (II), and (III), respectively. In all three structures, the packing is consolidated by van der Waals and electrostatic inter­actions, and in compounds (I) and (III) ππ stacking is also observed. Hirshfeld surfaces were generated in Crystal Explorer 21 (Spackman et al., 2021[Spackman, P. R., Turner, M. J., McKinnon, J. J., Wolff, S. K., Grimwood, D. J., Jayatilaka, D. & Spackman, M. A. (2021). J. Appl. Cryst. 54, 1006-1011.]) for each crystallographically independent tri­phenyl­sulfonium (TPS) cation and for the [MCl4]n anion (M = Mn2+, Fe3+, Co2+; n = 2,1,2). The corresponding two-dimensional fingerprint plots (McKinnon et al., 2007[McKinnon, J. J., Jayatilaka, D. & Spackman, M. A. (2007). Chem. Commun. pp. 3814-3816.]) were analyzed to qu­antify the relative contributions of the various inter­molecular contacts (Table 1[link]). Hydrogen bonds for (I)[link], (II)[link] and (III)[link] are listed in Tables 2[link]–4[link][link], respectively.

In the crystal structure of compound (I), two TPS+ cations (TPS1 and TPS2) occur in the asymmetric unit. On the Hirshfeld surfaces of TPS1 and TPS2, H⋯H inter­actions dominate, accounting for 49.8% (TPS1) and 54.5% (TPS2), followed by H⋯C contacts at 30.0% (TPS1) and 20.7% (TPS2). The C⋯C contacts are minor (3.8% for TPS1; 5.5% for TPS2). Notably, H⋯Cl contacts (14.3% for TPS1; 16.1% for TPS2) reflect hydrogen-bond-like inter­actions with the [MnCl4]2– anion. The [MnCl4]2– Hirshfeld surface is dominated by H⋯Cl (90.2%), with S⋯Cl (4.3%) and S⋯Mn (1.5%) also present (Table 1[link]). Discrete (TPS)2–MnCl4 units are formed through Mn1—S1 and Mn1—S2 short contacts at 3.7548 (13) and 3.8243 (14) Å, respectively, along with C—H⋯Cl inter­actions [H2⋯Cl4 = 2.6828 (14), H20⋯Cl4 = 2.7038 (14) Å]. These units are linked into chains via Cl3—H15 [2.6834 (16) Å; symmetry code: Mathematical equation + x, Mathematical equation − y, −Mathematical equation + z] parallel to the (101) plane, thus forming extended layers. These C—H⋯Cl short contacts can be regarded as weak hydrogen bonds (Steiner et al., 1998[Steiner, T. (1998). Acta Cryst. B54, 456-463.]). A single inversion-centered ππ stacking inter­action [Cg1⋯Cg1i, symmetry code: (i) 2 − x, −y, 1 − z); centroid–centroid separation = 3.807 (5) Å, shift = 1.520 (9) Å; Cg1 is the centroid of the C25–C30 ring].

In the crystal structure of compound (II), one independent TPS+ cation (TPS1) occurs in the asymmetric unit. H⋯H inter­actions dominate, occupying 42.4% of the Hirshfeld surface, followed by H⋯C at 19.6%, with minor C⋯C contacts, 0.4%. Hydrogen-bond-like inter­actions with [FeCl4] appear as H⋯Cl contributions of 27.9% of the surface. On the anion Hirshfeld surface, H⋯Cl inter­actions dominate (81.0%), with S⋯Cl (2.9%) and S⋯Fe (0.7%) also being observed. TPS–FeCl4 units are held together by short Fe—S [Fe1—S1 = 3.7092 (6) Å]. Additional short contacts include H16—Cl4 [2.7926 (5) Å; symmetry code: 1 − x, Mathematical equation + y, Mathematical equation − z), H15—Cl1 [2.7527 (7) Å; symmetry code: −1 + x, Mathematical equation − y, Mathematical equation + z], and Fe—C [C11—Fe1 = 3.905 (3), C17—Fe1 = 3.896 (2) Å] contacts. These contacts generate a di-periodic layer parallel to the (102) plane. No ππ stacking inter­actions are observed.

In the crystal structure of compound (III), as in (I), two independent TPS+ cations (TPS1, TPS2) occur in the asymmetric unit. H⋯H inter­actions dominate (54.6% for TPS1; 50.1% for TPS2) the Hirshfeld surface, followed by H⋯C (20.9% for TPS1; 30.1% for TPS2), with minor C⋯C contacts (5.6% for TPS1; 3.8% for TPS2). Hydrogen-bond-like inter­actions with [CoCl4]2– appear as H⋯Cl contributions of 15.9% (TPS1) and 13.9% (TPS2). On the anion Hirshfeld surface, H⋯Cl inter­actions dominate (90.4%), with S⋯Cl (4.7%) and S⋯Co (1.5%) also being observed. As seen with compound (I), discrete (TPS)2–CoCl4 units are observed and are formed by short Co—S contacts, Co1—S1 at 3.7873 (7) Å and Co1—S2 at 3.7183 (6) Å, as well as C—H⋯Cl inter­actions involving Cl3 [H18⋯Cl3 = 2.6789 (6), H20⋯Cl3 = 2.7031 (6) Å]. These units are extended into chains in the (101) plane by Cl1—H11 [2.7007 (7) Å; symmetry code: Mathematical equation + x, Mathematical equation − y, −Mathematical equation + z]. A single inversion-centered ππ stacking inter­action is present [Cg1···Cg1i, symmetry code: (i) −x, 1 − y, 1 − z); centroid–centroid separation = 3.794 (2) Å, shift = 1.476 (4) Å; Cg1 is the centroid of the C31–C36 ring].

5. Synthesis and crystallization

Bis(tri­phenyl­sulfonium) tetra­chlorido­manganate(II), [C18H15S]2[MnCl4], compound (I) was synthesized by reacting 0.100 g (0.335 mmol) of tri­phenyl­sulfonium chloride in 5 mL of methanol in a 50 mL beaker. Separately, 0.0330 g of MnCl2.4H2O (0.167 mmol) were dissolved similarly in 5 mL of methanol, and the solutions were mixed with stirring for 10 minutes. Crystals were grown at 295 K by slow evaporation over one week resulting in tan , X-ray quality crystals that were isolated via vacuum filtration. Yield, 0.0501 g (41.5%). Selected IR bands (ATR-IR, cm−1): 1478 (w), 1444 (w), 1063 (w), 997 (w), 744 (w), 680 (w), 495 (w).

Tri­phenyl­sulfonium tetra­chlorido­ferrate(III), [C18H15S][FeCl4], compound (II), was synthesized by dissolving 0.0878 g FeCl3.6H2O (0.325 mmol) in 3 mL of methanol. To this solution, 3 mL of a 0.111 M tri­phenyl­sulfonium chloride methanol solution were added at 295 K. The subsequent solution was stirred for 10 minutes and then covered with a watch glass. X-ray quality crystals were grown by slow evaporation at 295 K and isolated by vacuum filtration. Yield, 0.1362 g (90.9%). IR bands (ATR-IR, cm−1): 1475 (m), 1446 (m), 1311 (w), 996 (w), 750 (s), 740 (s), 680 (s), 495 (s).

Bis(tri­phenyl­sulfonium) tetra­chlorido­cobaltate(II), compound (III) was synthesized by dissolving of 0.1016 g of tri­phenyl­sulfonium chloride (0.340 mmol) in 5 mL of methanol. To this solution was added 0.0404 g of CoCl2.6H2O (0.170 mmol) in one portion. The solution was stirred to dissolve the cobalt(II) chloride and the resulting solution was covered with Parafilm and allowed to evaporate for one week at 295 K. The product was isolated via vacuum filtration and the final mass was 0.0702 g (54.9%). Selected IR bands (ATR-IR, cm−1): 1737.28(s), 1477.34(s), 1444.85(s), 1065.10(s), 995.21(s), 747.55(s), 682.37(s), 499.73(s).

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 5[link]. All carbon-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms: C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.

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.

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.
