Cobalt(II) chloride (130 mg, 1 mmol) was suspended in MeCN (20 ml). AgBF4 (389 mg, 2 mmol) was then added resulting in precipitation of a white solid. The solution was filtered through celite to remove AgCl and phenanthroline (541 mg, 3 mmol) was added giving an orange solution. The volume of the solution was reduced in vacuo to ca. 10 ml and then layered with Et2O (60 ml). After two days yellow crystals formed (602 mg, 74%) Analysis calculated for C38H27N7B2F8Co: C 56.06, H 3.34, N 12.04%; found: C 56.27, H 3.40, N 12.41%. ESI+ MS: (m/z) Anal. Calc. 814.22; found: [M]+ 814.19.
Hydrogen atoms were placed geometrically and refined with a riding model and with Uiso constrained to be 1.2 (aromatic CH) or 1.5 (Me) times Ueq of the carrier atom.

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 > σ(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. |

The reaction of anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride with AgBF4 in the presence of phenanthroline yields the coordination compound tris(phenanthroline)cobalt(II) tetrafluoroborate (1), [Co(phen)3][BF4]2.MeCN. Crystals were grown by allowing ether to diffuse into a concentrated solution of the complex in MeCN. The title complex crystallizes in the space group P21/n in contrast to the related compound [Co(phen)3][BF4]2.H2O.EtOH which crystallizes in P1 (Russell et al., 2001). The structure of (1) is shown in Fig. 1 while important bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1. The cobalt centre is octahedrally coordinated with Co—N bond lengths and N—Co—N angles for the chelating phenanthroline ligands essentially identical to those reported for other [Co(phen)3]2+ complexes (Boys et al., 1984; Geraghty et al., 1999; Russell et al., 2001; Tershansy et al., 2005).
The crystal lattice of (1) contains dimers of [Co(phen)3]2+ cations in which there is a P4AE (Parallel Fourfold Aryl Embrace) motif involving one π–π [centroid···centroid 3.542 (4) Å] and two C—H···π interactions between the phenanthroline ligands as shown in Fig. 2 (Cg1 is the centroid of the ring C31–C35; Russell et al., 2001). The offset between the central aryl ring of the two phenanthroline ligands is 6.443 (3) Å and indicative of overlap of a single aryl ring (Russell et al., 2001). The dimers found in (1) are isolated from each other unlike in the structure of [Co(phen)3][BF4]2.H2O.EtOH where a further P4AE interaction results in formation of a zig-zag chain. A further difference is that the anions are not found in hydrophilic channels between chains of the cations but rather in aryl boxes formed from six phenanthroline ligands. This difference is presumeably the result of a lack of suitable hydrogen bonding solvent in the current structure.
