Pink blocks of the title compound were grown at room temperature by slow
evaporation from water-ethanol (80/20) solution containing a stoichiometric
mixture of CoCl2·6H2O (0.12 mg, 0.5 mmol), 2,6-xylidine
(0.12 mL,1 mmol) and N4P2O7.10H2O (0.45 mg, 1 mmol) dissolved in 2 ml
of hydrochloric acid solution (2M).
Due to poor quality of the crystal when being diffracted, some bad reflections
(with (Iobs-Icalc)/SigmaW > 10) are observed. For the final refinement they
are omitted. H atoms attached to C, O and N atoms were fixed geometrically and
treated as riding, with C—H = 0.93 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for
aromatic ring and C—H = 0.96 Å and N—H = 0.89 Å respectively for CH3
and NH3 cation radicals and O—H = 0.82 Å for diphosphoric anion with
Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C, O or N). The water H atoms were refined using
restraints [O—H = 0.85 (1) A °, H···H = 1.44 (2) A ° and Uiso(H)
= 1.5Ueq(O)].

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. |
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 present work is a part of our investigation of diphosphate materials of mixed organic-metal cations. Here, we report a new synthesized one: (C8H12N)2[Co(H2P2O7)2(H2O)2] (I).
The asymmetric unit of (I) is made up of a half of mononuclear [Co(H2P2O7)2(H2O)2]2- moiety and one of 2,6-xylidinium cation. As Co2+ ion lie on inversion centre, the complete formula unit is generated by this element of symmetry (Fig. 1).
The inorganic component is made up of anionic monomeric units of formula [Co(H2P2O7)2(H2O)2]2-, in which the six-coordinated cobalt (II) ions are linked by means of O—H···O (with 2.505 (3) Å < O···O < 2.947 (3) Å see Table 1) hydrogen bonds to develop anionic layers running perpendicular to c axis. Similar [M(H2P2O7)2(H2O)2]2n- two-dimensional topological framework can be also found in the previously reported diphosphate materials (Selmi et al., 2006, 2009; Elboulali et al., 2013a,b). The cobalt (II) complex adopts a distorted octahedral where the four O atoms of diphospahte bidentate ligand (O1, O5, O1i and O5i with (i); -x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 1) fill the equatorial positions and the two symmetry equivalent O atoms of water molecules (O1W, O1Wi with (i); -x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 1) occupy the apical ones. The bond distances and angles in CoO6 are sufficiently close to those found in the related MIIO6 complexes featuring the chelating diphosphate ligand (Ahmed et al., 2006; Elboulali et al., 2013a, 2013b; Essehli et al., 2006; Gharbi et al., 1994; Gharbi et al., 2004; Selmi et al., 2006 and 2009).
Two phosphorous atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated and covalently linked through O4 to form a P2O7 group with bent geometry (P1–O4–P2 = 129.66 (12) °) and quasi-eclipsed conformation as confirmed by the torsion angle values 11.66°, 5.76° and 7.16° respectively of O5—P2—P1—O1, O7—P2—P1—O3 and O6—P2—P1—O2.
In the crystal of 1, the 2,6-xylidinium cations are linked by means N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds to inorganic layers thanks to NH3 group of the protonated cations (Fig. 2). It's to be noted that two adjacent cations interact by weak π···π stacking interactions (values of the inter-planar distances of 3.778 (2) Å).
