In the centrosymmetric binuclear title molecule, [Co2(SO4)2(C8H7N3)4], the CoII ion is coordinated by two N,N′-bidentate 3-(2-pyrid­yl)pyrazole ligands and two sulfate ions, generating a distorted cis-CoO2N4 octa­hedral geometry for the metal atom. The dihedral angles between the pyridine and pyrazole rings in the two ligands are 10.5 (2) and 7.38 (19)°. The bridging sulfate ions generate an eight-membered ring and intra­molecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds help to establish the mol­ecular conformation.

Comment top

The tridentate ligand 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole and its derivatives have been used widely in the construction of supramolecular architectures by way of metal-organic coordination (Ward et al. 1998; 2001; Zhang et al. 2003).

As a continuation of these studies, we now report the crystal structure of the title complex, (I). As shown in Figure 1, two Co(II) cations chelated by two 3-(2-Pyridyl)pyrazole) are linked by two sulfate ions to form one circle in which the cobalt ion is hexacoordinated by two 3-(2-Pyridyl)pyrazole) ligands and two O from two sulfate ions (Table 1).

Experimental top

A mixture of cobalt sulfate heptahydrate (1 mmol, 0.25 g), sodium hydroxide (0.04 g, 1 mmol) and 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole (1 mmol, 0.15 g) and water (15 ml) was stirred for 30 min in air. The mixture was then transferred to a 25 ml Teflon-lined hydrothermal bomb. The bomb was kept at 433 K for 72 h under autogenous pressure. Upon cooling, red blocks of (I) were obtained from the reaction mixture.

Refinement top

All hydrogen atoms bound to carbon were refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms on nitrogen atoms were refined using a riding model with N—H = 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.

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.
