Crystals of (I) were obtained as dark-brown prisms from an absolute ethanol solution under an atmosphere of ultrapure nitrogen, following the procedure previously reported by Zanello et al. (1983) and references therein.
All the H atoms of the complex molecule were set in their calculated positions and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms during refinement, with Uiso(H) constrained to 1.2Ueq of the parent atom. The H atoms for the disordered solvent molecule were not included at all.
Data collection: XSCANS (Siemens, 1994); cell refinement: XSCANS; data reduction: XSCANS and XEMP (Siemens, 1994); program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 1990); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997); molecular graphics: ORTEP-32 (Farrugia, 1998); software used to prepare material for publication: CIFTAB (Sheldrick, 1997).

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. Once all the atoms of the complex molecule had been located and their positional parameters refined at the isotropic stage, three new peaks were found in the difference Fourier map. These peaks were in the proximity of a crystallographic twofold axis and were interpreted as the O and two C atoms of a co-crystallized and disordered ethanol molecule. The three atoms (O1E, C1E and C2E) were given occupancy factors of 0.5 and were included in the subsequent cycles of refinement. The bond distances were restrained to 1.45 (1) Å (O1E—C1E) and 1.53 (1) Å (C1E—C2E). |

Cobalt compounds able to react reversibly with dioxygen have captured the attention of several research groups during the past three decades (Rybak-Akimova et al., 1997, and references therein) and many structural studies have been performed on the parent cobalt complexes, [CoL], as well as on some dioxygen adducts, [CoL(O2)] (Cini & Orioli, 1983, 1981; Huie et al., 1979). The L ligand is a Schiff base in most cases and belongs to the H2(sal)2en or H2(sal)2Medpt families (Anderson et al., 1998; Boca et al., 1998; Kingma et al., 1993; Polishchuk et al., 1991; Ready & Jacobsen, 1999; Sato et al., 1999). It has been observed that small structural changes to the cobalt complexes upon oxygenation correspond to relatively low activation energies for dioxygen binding (Rybak-Akimova et al., 1997). On the other hand, it has been found that the penta-coordinate cobalt complexes from the (sal)2Medpt family span a wide range of values for the O—Co—O bond angle, which measures the cavity through which the entering dioxygen molecule approaches the metal (Boca et al., 1998, and references therein; Cini & Orioli, 1983, 1982).
On the basis of this reasoning, and as a continuation of the synthetic work and structural studies performed by this group during the past two decades, single crystals of the title compound, (I), have been prepared from deaerated ethanol solutions and analysed via X-ray diffraction. Reported here is the structure of (I), whose reactivity with dioxyen in dimethylsulfoxide solution, as determined via electrochemical methods, was previously reported by Zanello et al. (1983). \sch
The complex molecule is represented in Fig. 1 and selected geometrical parameters are listed in Table 1. The coordination sphere has the usual trigonal bipyramidal arrangement found for this type of complex, where the oxygen donors from the sal moiety and the Nsp3 donor from the dtp chain are considered as occupying the equatorial positions, and the Nsp2 donors are at the apical positions. The Co—O bond distances are equal to within one s.u. and average 1.977 (2) Å, in agreement with the values previously found for analogous complexes (Boca et al., 1998, and references therein). The axial Co-Nsp2 bond lengths are also equal to within one s.u. and average 2.060 (3) Å, a value which compares well with the corresponding lengths for analogous complexes. The equatorial Co-Nsp3 bond length found in (I), 2.185 (3) Å, follows the trend already noted for this class of compounds, but it is the largest such value observed so far; the range found in the literature varies from 2.123 (2) Å (Boca et al., 1998) to 2.170 (9) Å (Cini & Orioli, 1982).
The N1—Co—N2 bond angle of 176.9 (1)° is close to the idealized value (180°) for the axial donors of a trigonal bipyramid. The bond angles which involve one equatorial and one axial donor are also close to the idealized value of 90°; the largest deviation in (I) is 1.9 (1)° for N2—Co—O1. These angles are in good agreement with the values previously reported for analogous complexes. Interestingly, the N3—Co—O1 [124.7 (1)°] and N3—Co—O2 [115.0 (1)°] bond angles differ by ca 10°. This fact has to be compared with the small value [120.4 (1)°] of the O1—Co—O2 bond angle.
It must be noted that the solid-state molecular structures of metal complexes of (sal)2Medpt-type dianions usually show two distinct sets, of three atoms each, around the Nsp3 donor (Boca et al., 1998; Cini & Orioli, 1982; Cini, 1983, 1986). Once this type of disorder happens, the equatorial set of donors (atoms O1 and O2) has an almost strict C2 symmetry around the N3—Co vector. By contrast, the present structure does not have any detectable disorder around N3, the equatorial set of donors is far from C2 symmetry, the O1—Co—O2 bond angle is narrow and the Co—N3 bond distance is long. The only other example of an X-ray structure for a cobalt complex from the (sal)2Medpt family which has no disorder around N3 is the non-dioxygenated molecule of [Co{(sal)2Medpt}(O2)][Co{(sal)2Medpt}]·2C6H6 (Cini & Orioli, 1983), the O1—Co—O2 bond angle being narrow also for that molecule, at 120.4 (7)°.
In conclusion, it seems that once the Co—N3 bond becomes shorter, the ligand forces the O1—Co—O2 angle to open. Furthermore, a short Co—N3 vector and the disorder around N3 seem to be related. These effects on the geometrical parameters of cobalt complexes with the (sal)2Rdpt-type dianions can be due to specific electronic contributions from the ligand itself (tuned by the substituents), or can arise from several types of intermolecular forces or from both these sources. Of course, much more work, both experimental and theoretical, is needed to clarify the matter.
The analysis of the crystal packing in (I) shows several short O···H—C contacts which can be considered hydrogen-bond type interactions (Table 2) (Taylor & Kennard, 1982). Selected examples are: C14—H14···O3(x, -y, z + 1/2) 2.71 Å, C12—H12···O4(1 - x, -y, 1 - z) 2.62 Å and C22—H22C···O1E(x + 1/2, y - 1/2, z) 2.46 Å.
