Dipotassium diaquabis(methylenediphosphonato-κ²O,O′)cobaltate(II)

H. G. Visser, J. A. Venter and K. A. Van der Merwe

In the title complex, K₂[Co(CH₄O₆P₂)₂(H₂O)₂], the asymmetric unit contains two K⁺ cations and two half-anions in which the Co atoms lie on inversion centers. The Co^II ions assume an octahedral CoO₆ coordination geometry. In the crystal, a three-dimensional network is formed through O—H

O hydrogen-bond interactions as well as intermolecular interactions between the K⁺ cations and neighbouring O atoms.

Comment top

We reported a similar structure recently with the only differences being the cation and the +2 oxidation state of the cobalt ion (Van der Merwe et al.<i/>, 2009).

The Co^III ion in the title complex, K[Co(C₂H₄O₆P)₂(H₂O)₂], is in a slightly distorted octahedral environment with O–Co–O bond angles varying from 83.75 (10) to 96.25 (10)°. All the bonding distance and angles fall within the normal range observed for complexes of this nature. The P-O distances are significantly different for P═O and P-OH type bonds and vary from 1.501 (3) to 1.580 (3) Å. This could possibly be an indication that the assignment of positional disorders for the respective Co^II complex previously was correct since these difference were not so prominent in the previous structure.

A three-dimensional network is provided by numerous hydrogen bonds and other weak interactions between the potassium ions and the oxygen atoms of the anionic species.

Experimental top

CoCl₂.6H₂O (0,1696 g, 71 mmol) was dissolved in water (7 cm³) and heated to 70°C. Potassium bicarbonate was added to raise the pH to 5,5 after which methylene disphosphonate (0,25 g, 142 mmol), dissolved in water (5 cm³) was added dropwise. The final pH of the solution was adjusted to 1.50 to obtain the Co^II salt as described previously (Van der Merwe et al.<i/> 2009). Crystals of the Co^III salt, suitable for X-ray diffraction, was obtained from redissolving and adding H₂O₂ to the solution.

Special details top

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.
