Several In(III) complexes with a formula [In(L₁)Cl₃(L₂)] (L₁ = an N,N'-chelating ligand, L₂ = DMSO, H₂O, MeOH and EtOH), such as [In(bipy)Cl₃(H₂O)], (II), [In(bipy)Cl₃(EtOH)], (III), [In(bipy)Cl₃(H₂O)].H₂O, (IV) (Malyarick et al., 1992), [In(phen)Cl₃(DMSO)], (V) (Dong et al., 1987), [In(phen)Cl₃(H₂O)], (VI), [In(phen)Cl₃(EtOH)].EtOH, (VII) (Ilyuhin & Malyarick, 1994), [In(4,4'-dmbipy)Cl₃(DMSO)], (IIX) (Ahmadi et al., 2008), [In(5,5'-dmbipy)Cl₃(MeOH)], (IX) (Kalateh, Ahmadi et al., 2008), [In(4bt)Cl₃(MeOH)], (X), and [In(4bt)Cl₃(DMSO)], (XI) (Abedi et al., 2012) (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide, 4,4'-dmbipy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 5,5'-dmbipy = 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 4bt = 4,4'-bithiazole), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. 4,4'-Dmbipy is a good bidentate ligand, and numerous complexes with 4,4'-dmbipy have been prepared, such as that of [Hg(4,4'-dmbipy)I₂], (XII) (Yousefi et al., 2008), [Hg(4,4'-dmbipy)Br₂], (XIII) (Kalateh, Ebadi et al., 2008), [Fe(4,4'-dmbipy)Cl₃(DMSO)], (XIV) (Amani et al., 2009), [Pt(4,4'-dmbipy)Cl₄], (XV) (Hojjat Kashani et al., 2008), [Cd(4,4'-dmbipy)I₂(DMSO)], (XVI) (Kalateh et al., 2010), [Zn(4,4'-dmbipy)Br₂], (XVII) (Alizadeh et al., 2010), [Zn(4,4'-dmbipy)(H₂O)(NO₃)₂], (XVIII) (Shirvan & Haydari Dezfuli, 2011), and [Cd(4,4'-dmbipy)Br₂(DMSO)], (XIX) (Shirvan & Haydari Dezfuli, 2012). We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).

In the title compound (Fig. 1), the In^III atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by two N atoms from a chelating 4,4'-dmbipy ligand, one O atom from a methanol molecule and three Cl atoms. There is also one solvent methanol molecule in the asymmetric unit. The In—Cl, In—N and In—O bond lengths and angles are within normal range. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H···O and O—H···Cl hydrogen bonds link the complex and solvent methanol molecules (Fig. 2, Table 1). Intramolecular C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds are present in the complex.

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, a solution of 4,4'-dmbipy (0.30 g, 1.65 mmol) in methanol (20 ml) was added to a solution of InCl₃.4H₂O (0.48 g, 1.65 mmol) in methanol (20 ml). The resulting colorless solution was stirred for 10 min at room temperature and then it was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After six days, colorless block crystals of the title compound were isolated (yield: 0.62 g, 80.0%).

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.
