Hexaketocyclohexane octahydrate (1.0 g, 3.20 mmol) and 1,2-phenylenediamine (1.14 g, 10.5 mmol) were added to 200 ml of absolute ethanol. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 12 h after which the solution was cooled to room temperature. The pale-orange precipitate formed was filtered off and dried under vacuum. Recrystallization from CHCl3 gave extremely thin orange plate-like crystals.
The Rint value is rather high which is probably due to the poor quality of the crystal and its thinness. Less than one third of the unique reflections can be considered to be observed and the observed reflections to parameter ratio is only 4.3. The aromatic H atoms were placed in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms using SHELXL97 default parameters. The CHCl3 H atoms were located from Fourier difference maps and refined isotropically.

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. |

Hexaazatrinaphthalene (HATN) is one of a series of compounds which contain three sites for possible bidentate coordination to a metal center. It is thought that delocalization of the π-electron system may provide facile electronic communication between coordinated metal centers leading to interesting physical properties. The parent compound of this series, 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene (HAT), has recently been reported to form a robust (10,3)-a network containing chiral micropres on coordinating AgI (Abrahams at al., 1998). The chemistry of ruthenium(II) (Kirsch-De Mesmaeker et al., 1989; Rutherford et al., 1997) and mixed RuII/OsII (Rutherford et al., 1998) complexes of HAT have also been studied. The hexaphenyl derivative of HAT has been used to form a number of capped polymetallic complexes with copper(I) and silver(I) (Baxter, Lehn, Baum et al., 1993; Baxter, Lehn, Baum & Fenske, 1999; Baxter, Lehn, Kneisel et al., 1999). The synthesis of a number of HAT derivatives have been reported (Rademacher et al., 1994) and the crystal structure of HAT-hexacarboxamide was published in 1996 (Beeson et al., 1996). The crystal structures of a number of mono- and binuclear PdII and ReI complexes with the hexamethyl derivative of HATN have been reported (Catalano et al., 1994). Two trinuclear copper(I) complexes were recently synthesized (Okubo et al., 1999) using the HAT–hexacarbonitrile anion, which was prepared electrolytically. The complexes were found to exhibit anion-trapping behaviour in the solid state and in solution.
The title compound, (I), crystallizes with four molecules of CHCl3 per molecule of HATN. The molecule is planar with a maxium deviation for atom N3 of 0.034 Å from the best least-squares plane through all of the non-H atoms comprising the molecule (Fig. 1). The pattern of bond distances and angles in HATN does not suggest a regular delocalized congujated system as observed in HAT–hexacarboxamide (Beeson et al., 1996). The central six-membered ring has three short fused bonds C1—C2, C3—C4 and C5—C6 [average value 1.425 (2) Å] and three long non-fused bonds C2—C3, C4—C5 and C6—C1 [average value 1.479 (2) Å]. The same pattern was observed in HAT–hexacarboxamide (Beeson et al., 1996) but with slightly shorter distances, i.e. 1.405 (10) Å and 1.457 (6) Å, respectively. The remainder of the carbon–carbon bonds have an average value of 1.42 (1) Å except two bonds in the outer fused benzene rings. Surprisingly, here the average value is 1.351 (2) Å for bonds C8—C9, C10—C11, C14—C15, C16—C17, C20—C21 and C22—C23.
In the crystal the HATN molecules stack in pairs, related by a center of symmetry. These `dimers' stack up the a axis and are surounded by solvent molecules of chloroform (Fig. 2). Each pyrazine N atom is involved in a C—H···N contact with the chloroform solvent molecules. Details are given in Table 2. The symmetry-related quinoline moieties involving atoms N1/N2/C1/C7–C12/C2 [symmetry code: 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z], are overlapped with an average non-bonded interatomic distance of 3.66 (1) Å. This is larger than the expected van der Waals separation of ca 3.2 Å for π-complexation of aromatic rings. In contrast, it was found that molecules of HAT–hexacarboxamide (Beeson et al., 1996) also stack in pairs but with an average separation of 3.31 (9) Å, indicating the presence of π-complexation.
