Safety remark: Perchlorate complexes of metal ions are potentially explosive. The title complex burns with high intensity when ignited in a gas flame. According to Delavar & Staples (1981), the corresponding phen complex is explosive.
All chemicals were used as received. cis-[Cr(bipy)2F2]ClO4 was synthesized by reflux of trans-difluorotetrakis(pyridine)chromium(III) perchlorate and bipy in 2-methoxyethanol according to the published method (Glerup et al., 1970).
Nd2O3 (0.251 g, 0.746 mmol) was dissolved in 0.5 ml HClO4 (60%) by gentle heating giving a pink solution to which was added a mixture of cis-[Cr(bipy)2F2]ClO4 (1.011 g, 2.015 mmol) in acteonitrile (60 ml) and water (20 ml). Mixing gave rise to a slight color change from purple to red. The solution was placed in a water bath (~70°C) and was stirred for 30–35 min. The resulting muddy red suspension was solidified by cooling to room temperature. Extraction with a mixture of acetonitrile and water (2:1, 30 ml) gave an orange turbid solution which was separated into a clear solution and white precipitate by centrifugation. Slow evaporation gave an orange crystalline product which contained crystals of suitable quality for X-ray diffraction. The product was isolated by filtering, washed with ice water and dried in air (yield 1.073 g, 83.7%). Analysis, calculated for C20H22Cl2CrFN4O11: C 37.75, H 3.48, N 8.80%; found: C 37.97, H 3.41, N 8.70%.
The corresponding phen complex, cis-[Cr(phen)2(H2O)F](ClO4)2.H2O can be synthesized from cis-[Cr(phen)2F2]ClO4 (1.034 g, 1.88 mmol) by a similar procedure (yield 0.781 g, 60.7%). Analysis, calculated for C24H22Cl2CrFN4O11: C 42.12, H 3.24, N 8.19%; found: C 42.07, H 2.73, N 8.02%.
The aromatic H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.95 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms of water molecules were identified in a difference Fourier map and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).
Water and fluoride are both hard donor ligands favoring the same central ions. Nevertheless, no transition metal complexes of the general type cis-[M(L)2(H2O)F]2+ with L being a bidentate ligand such as 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or ethane-1,2-diamine (en) have previously been characterized by X-ray diffraction. This report presents the synthesis and crystal structure of such a system exemplified by the title complex cis-[Cr(bipy)2(H2O)F](ClO4)2.2H2O.
All trivalent lanthanid ions, Ln3+ are known to be hard Lewis acids. This Lewis acidity gives rise to favorable bond formation with ligands containing oxygen and fluorine ligator atoms. The interactions between lanthanid ions and coordinated fluoride have not received much attention compared to the plethora of oxygen bridged systems reported. We have initiated a study on the reactivity of lanthanid ions towards coordinated fluoride ligands to assess if new fluoride contaning complexes can be synthesized this way. In the context of these studies, we found that the title complex, as well as the corresponding phen complex, can be synthesized by a lanthanid ion assisted aquation of the difluoride complex cis-[Cr(bipy)2F2]ClO4. The normal aquation reaction is performed in strong acid and has been studied preparatively and kinetic for difluoride complexes as trans-[Cr(en)2F2]+ and cis-[Cr(bipy)2F2]+ (DeJovine et al., 1974; Delavar & Staples, 1981; Vaughn et al., 1968; Vaughn & Seiler, 1979). However, the present synthetic approach is more general, as it can be applied also to systems with an acid-labile auxillary ligand sphere.
The most important structural element in the title compound is the cis arrangement of ligators in a distorted octahedral coordination polyhedron around the central CrIII ion (Fig. 1). Distortion from ideal geometry is dictated by the nearly fixed bite angles of the two bipy ligands [79.51 (5) and 79.24 (5)°]. This pattern is also seen in the structurally related difluoride complexes cis-[V(bipy)2F2]BF4 (Kavitha et al., 2005) and cis-[Cr(bipy)F2]ClO4.H2O (Yamaguchi-Terasaki et al., 2007). The Cr1—F1 bond distance of 1.8614 (8) Å (Table 1) is in accordance with the structurally characterized difluoride complexes, as shown in Table 3. The Cr1—O1 bond distance of 1.9579 (10)Å is shorter than what is seen in both the tricationic, diaqua complex cis-[Cr(bipy)2(H2O)2](NO3)3 [2.00 (1) and 1.98 (1) Å] (Casellato et al., 1986), as well as in the uncharged [Cr(bipy)(H2O)F3].2H2O [1.979 (2) Å] (Liu, 2009). In the structure of cis-[Cr(bipy)2F2]+, a trans influence leading to the Cr—N bond distances trans to the fluorido ligand being longer that the corresponding cis distances was identified by Yamaguchi-Terasaki et al. (2007). This situation was also found in cis-[Cr(phen)2F2]+ (Birk et al., 2008), but is not discernible in the structure reported here.
The crystal packing in the title complex (Fig. 2) shows a hydrogen bonding pattern involving water molecules, coordinated F atom and perchlorate anions (Table 2).

Water and fluoride are both hard donor ligands favoring the same central ions. Nevertheless, no transition metal complexes of the general type cis-[M(L)2(H2O)F]2+ with L being a bidentate ligand such as 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or ethane-1,2-diamine (en) have previously been characterized by X-ray diffraction. This report presents the synthesis and crystal structure of such a system exemplified by the title complex cis-[Cr(bipy)2(H2O)F](ClO4)2.2H2O.
All trivalent lanthanid ions, Ln3+ are known to be hard Lewis acids. This Lewis acidity gives rise to favorable bond formation with ligands containing oxygen and fluorine ligator atoms. The interactions between lanthanid ions and coordinated fluoride have not received much attention compared to the plethora of oxygen bridged systems reported. We have initiated a study on the reactivity of lanthanid ions towards coordinated fluoride ligands to assess if new fluoride contaning complexes can be synthesized this way. In the context of these studies, we found that the title complex, as well as the corresponding phen complex, can be synthesized by a lanthanid ion assisted aquation of the difluoride complex cis-[Cr(bipy)2F2]ClO4. The normal aquation reaction is performed in strong acid and has been studied preparatively and kinetic for difluoride complexes as trans-[Cr(en)2F2]+ and cis-[Cr(bipy)2F2]+ (DeJovine et al., 1974; Delavar & Staples, 1981; Vaughn et al., 1968; Vaughn & Seiler, 1979). However, the present synthetic approach is more general, as it can be applied also to systems with an acid-labile auxillary ligand sphere.
The most important structural element in the title compound is the cis arrangement of ligators in a distorted octahedral coordination polyhedron around the central CrIII ion (Fig. 1). Distortion from ideal geometry is dictated by the nearly fixed bite angles of the two bipy ligands [79.51 (5) and 79.24 (5)°]. This pattern is also seen in the structurally related difluoride complexes cis-[V(bipy)2F2]BF4 (Kavitha et al., 2005) and cis-[Cr(bipy)F2]ClO4.H2O (Yamaguchi-Terasaki et al., 2007). The Cr1—F1 bond distance of 1.8614 (8) Å (Table 1) is in accordance with the structurally characterized difluoride complexes, as shown in Table 3. The Cr1—O1 bond distance of 1.9579 (10)Å is shorter than what is seen in both the tricationic, diaqua complex cis-[Cr(bipy)2(H2O)2](NO3)3 [2.00 (1) and 1.98 (1) Å] (Casellato et al., 1986), as well as in the uncharged [Cr(bipy)(H2O)F3].2H2O [1.979 (2) Å] (Liu, 2009). In the structure of cis-[Cr(bipy)2F2]+, a trans influence leading to the Cr—N bond distances trans to the fluorido ligand being longer that the corresponding cis distances was identified by Yamaguchi-Terasaki et al. (2007). This situation was also found in cis-[Cr(phen)2F2]+ (Birk et al., 2008), but is not discernible in the structure reported here.
The crystal packing in the title complex (Fig. 2) shows a hydrogen bonding pattern involving water molecules, coordinated F atom and perchlorate anions (Table 2).
