In the title compound, [Hg(C14H8N5)2], the central atom is four-coordinated by two bidentate 1,3-bis­(2-cyano­phen­yl)triazenide ligands in a distorted square-planar geometry. The asymmteric unit is composed of one ligand molecule and one HgII ion, which is disordered over two sites, one lying on an inversion center and the other on a general position with site-occupancy factors of 0.2378 (7) and 0.3811 (7), respectively. The monomeric mol­ecules of the complex are linked into pairs through non-classical C—H...N hydrogen bonds. The resulting dimeric units are assembled by translation along the crystallographic c axis into chains linked through secondary π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.685 (2) and 3.574 (2) Å], as well as C—H...π stacking inter­actions, resulting in a two-dimensional architecture.

Triazenes are characterized by a diazoamino group (NN—N) commonly adopting a trans configuration in the ground state. Recently, the study of transition metal complexes containing 1,3-diaryltriazenide ions has been increased due to the potential reactivity of these ligands (Vrieze & Koten, 1987). This anion is a three-atom donor ligand that can act as a monodentate group, a chelating ligand or a bridging ligand between two metal centers (Hursthouse et al., 1993).

Several bisdiaryl symmetric and asymmetric-substituted triazenide complex polymers of Hg(II) which have a remarkable ability to self-assemble in different manners through metal-η-arene π-interactions have been reported (Horner et al., 20006). Hg(II) is a diamagnetic ion and maintains d10 electron configuration which minimizes intrinsic coordination geometry preferences while favoring coordination by softer ligands. We have previously reported the synthesis of [1,3-bis(2-methoxy)phenyl]triazene ligand (Rofouei et al., 2006) and its Ag(I) complex (Payehghadr et al., 2006). In addition, we have reported the Hg(II) complexes with this ligand by using HgCl2 (Melardi et al., 2007), HgBr2 (Hematyar and Rofouei, 2008), Hg(CH3COO)2 and Hg(SCN)2 (Rofouei et al., 2009) as starting materials. In this paper, a new Hg(II) complex of a recently synthesized ligand ([1,3-bis(2-cyano)phenyl]triazene) (Melardi et al., 2008) is reported. Mercury(II) acetate was used as the starting material.

The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. There is a high disorder of Hg atom in the complex. The Hg(II) atom was disordered over 3 sites (only 2 of them are symmetrically independent). Hg1:Hg1A:Hg2 atoms are disordered in ratio 0.38:0.38:0.24. The central atom in this compound is coordinated by two symmetrically related triazenide ions. Each HgII atom is four-coordinated by two nitrogen atoms N1, and N3 of two 1,3-bis(2-cyano)phenyl]triazene fragments which act as bidentate ligands. The arrangement of the four donor atoms around Hg(II) atom results in a distorted square planar geometry.

In the lattice of the title compound, the monomeric [Hg(C14H8N5)2] molecules are linked into pairs through non-classical C–H···N hydrogen bonds (details are provided in Table 1). The resulting dimeric units are assembled by translation along the crystallographic c axis to unidimensional chains linked through secondary π–interactions. Consequently, 1-D chains formed by C–H···N hydrogen bonds are connected with one another by π-π and C–H···π stacking interactions, resulting in the 2-D architecture(Fig. 2). These π-π stacking interactions are present between aromatic rings with centroid-centroid distances of 3.685 (2) and 3.574 (2) Å and also between C–H group of phenyl rings with aromatic rings with H···π distance of 2.96 Å for C10—H10A···Cg; Cg is the centroid of C7—C12 ring.

Experimental top

Anhydrous methanolic solution of [1,3-bis(2-cyano)phenyl]triazene (0.247 g) was added to anhydrous methanolic solution of mercury(II) acetate ( 0.160 g). After several hours, the mixture was filtered, the product washed with methanol, the yellow precipitate thus obtained was dissolved in diethyl ether and stored in a freezer. After 14 days, well formed orange-red crystals were produced which decompose above 523 K.

Refinement top

There is a high disorder of Hg atom in the comples. The Hg atom in the complex was disordered over 3 sites (only 2 of them are symmetrically independent), where disorder was refined as free variable (using FVAR instrcution).

Positions of H-atoms were calculated and refined in isotropic approximation in riding mode with (C–H = 0.95 Å) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent C).

There is a high positive residual density of 2.67 e Å-3 near the Hg1 center (distance 0.85% A) due to considerable absorption effects which could not be completely corrected.

Experimental. 1H NMR and 13C NMR of the free ligand and the title compound were recorded in DMSO as solvent:

For the free ligand, hydrogen atoms of the aromatic ring appear at δ = 7.27–7.86 ppm (4H) and hydrogen atom of NH group appears at δ = 13.45 ppm (1H); in 13C NMR we have resonances at 118, 124, 128, 133, 134 and 135 ppm which belong to the carbon atoms of aromatic ring.

In 1H NMR spectra of the title complex, the resonance for the hydrogen atom of NH group has completely disappeared and the hydrogen atoms of aromatic ring now appear at δ = 7.27–7.86 ppm (4H); in 13C NMR spectra, carbon atoms of aromatic ring have resonances at 103, 118, 120, 125, 133 and 149 ppm. These data support the structure presented in this article.

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.
