The centrosymmetric CrIII ion in the title compound shows a distorted octa­hedral coordination with four N atoms of two ethane-1,2-di­amine ligands in the equatorial plane and two N-coordinated NCS groups in trans-axial positions. The ethane-1,2-di­amine ligand in the complex cation and the ClO4 anion are both disordered.

Chemical context top

Considerable attention has been focussed for some time on metal complexes containing thio­cyanate ligands because of their ability to coordinate through either the N or S atoms. Ethane-1,2-di­amine (en) can coordinate to a central metal ion as a bidentate ligand via the two N atoms, forming a five-membered chelate ring. The [Cr(NCS)2(en)2]+ cation can form either trans or cis geometric isomers. Trans and cis isomers of the complex cation with SCN- or ClO4- counter-anions have been prepared and their IR spectral properties reported (House, 1973; Sandrini et al., 1978; De et al., 1987). IR and electronic spectral properties are useful in determining the geometric isomers of chromium(III) complexes with mixed ligands (Choi, 2000; Choi et al., 2004; Choi & Moon, 2014). However, it should be noted that the geometric assignments based on spectroscopic studies are not always definitive. In a recent publication, we described the synthesis and crystal structure of trans-[Cr(NCS)2(en)2]2[ZnCl4] (Moon & Choi, 2015). The asymmetric unit of this complex contained four halves of centrosymmetric [Cr(NCS)2(en)2]+ complex cations and one [ZnCl4]2- anion. To compare and contrast this structure with a complex of this cation with a different counter-anion we report here the structure of trans-[Cr(NCS)2(en)2]ClO4, (I).

Structural commentary top

Fig. 1 shows an ellipsoid plot of trans-[Cr(NCS)2(en)2]ClO4, (I), with the atom-numbering scheme. In the structure of (I), there is a centrosymmetric CrIII complex cation with two en ligands bound through their N atoms in equatorial sites and the two axial N-bound thio­cyanate anions in a trans configuration. The asymmetric unit is composed of half of one complex cation and half a ClO4- anion. The Cr atom is located on crystallographic centres of symmetry, so this complex cation has molecular Ci symmetry, while the the Cl atom of the perchlorate anion lies on a twofold rotation axis. The bidentate en ligand adopts a stable gauche conformation similar to that observed in related compounds (Brencic & Leban, 1981; Choi et al., 2010). The Cr—N bond distances for the en ligand range from 2.037 (17) to 2.109 (19) Å [2.053 (16) to 2.09 (2) Å ?], and these bond lengths are in good agreement with those observed in trans-[CrF2(en)2]ClO4 (Brencic & Leban, 1981), trans-[CrBr2(en)2]ClO4 (Choi et al., 2010), trans-[CrCl2(Me2tn)2]2ZnCl4 (Me2tn = 2,2-di­methyl­propane-1,3-di­amine; Choi et al., 2011) and trans-[CrF2(2,2,3-tet)]ClO4 (2,2,3-tet = 1,4,7,11-tetra­aza­undecane; Choi & Moon, 2014). The Cr—N(thio­cyanate) bond distance is 1.983 (2) Å and is similar to the average values of 1.985 (2), 1.995 (6), 1.983 (2) and 1.996 (15) Å found in trans-[Cr(NCS)2(en)2]2ZnCl4 (Moon & Choi, 2015), trans-[Cr(NCS)2(cyclam)]2ZnCl4 (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetra­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane (Moon et al., 2015), trans-[Cr(NCS)2(Me2tn)2]NCS (Choi & Lee, 2009) and cis-[Cr(NCS)2(cyclam)]NCS (Moon et al., 2013), respectively. The N-coordinated iso­thio­cyanate group is almost linear, with an N—C—S angle 179.3 (3)°. The ClO4- counter-anion lies well outside the coordination sphere of the complex and, because of significant disorder, the tetra­hedral geometry of this anion is severely distorted.

Supra­molecular features top

In the crystal, an N—H···S hydrogen bond links neighbouring cations, while a series of N—H···O contacts link the cations to neighbouring anions (Table 1). An extensive array of these contacts generate a three-dimensional network of molecules stacked along the b-axis direction (Fig. 2). These hydrogen-bonded networks help to stabilize the crystal structure.

Database survey top

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.36, last update February 2015; Groom & Allen, 2014) indicates a total of 13 hits for CrIII complexes with a [CrL2(en)2]+ unit. The crystal structures of trans-[CrCl2(en)2]Cl.HCl.2H2O (Ooi et al., 1960), trans-[CrF2(en)2]X (X = ClO4, Cl, Br) (Brencic & Leban, 1981), cis-[CrF2(en)2]ClO4 (Brencic et al., 1987), trans-[CrBr2(en)2]ClO4 (Choi et al., 2010) have been reported previously. Recently, we have also reported the closely related crystal structure of Cr(NCS)2(en)2]2ZnCl4, in which there are four crystallographically independent CrIII complex cations that also adopt a trans configuration. However, crystal structure of [Cr(NCS)2(en)2]+ with a ClO4 anion has not been reported previously.

Synthesis and crystallization top

All chemicals were reagent grade materials and were used without further purification. The title compound, trans-[Cr(NCS)2(en)2]ClO4 was prepared according to the literature method of Sandrini et al. (1978). The crude perchlorate salt (0.33 g) was dissolved in 20 ml of 0.1 M HCl at 333 K. The filtrate was added to 6 ml of 60% HClO4. The resulting solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for 2 d to give orange block-like crystals suitable for X-ray structural analysis.

Refinement top

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2. In the title compound, the ethane-1,2-di­amine group is disordered with atoms N2A/N2B, C2A/C2B, C3A/C3B and N3A/N3B positionally disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.522 (16):0.478 (16). The half molecules of each distorted perchlorate anion are disordered over two sites of equal occupancy, with atoms Cl1B/Cl1C and O2B/O1C refined using EXYZ/EADP constraints. All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.97 Å and N—H = 0.89 Å, and with Uiso(H) values of 1.2 of the parent atoms.

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.
