DMDBIZ was synthesized from 1,2,4,5-benzentetraamine according to the literature procedure of Arient et al. (1960). 1,2,4,5-Benzentetramine was synthesized from 2-dichlorobenzene by a three-step reaction (Cai et al., 2002). The free ligand DMBDIZ (0.25 mmol) and Co(ClO4)2·6H2O (0.125 mmol) were each dissolved in 10 ml of ethanol; the CoII salt solution was added slowly to the ligand solution and a slight excess of NH4SCN in ethanol was directly added. The resulting blue solution was allowed to stand at room temperature. Large dark-blue crystals formed slowly during several days (yield: 80%). Elemental analysis gave C 48.8, H 3.3, N 25.0%; calculated 48.2, 3.6, 25.5%) IR spectrum (KBr, cm-1): 2082 ν(CN), 2052 ν(CN).
All H atoms were located and were placed in idealized positions using a riding model (C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å).

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 supramolecular architecture created by non-covalent forces has become increasingly important in crystal engineering. Current interests focus on designing multidentate aromatic nitrogen heterocycles (Stang & Olenyuk, 1997; Steel, 1990) and polycarboxylic acid ligands (Eddaoudi et al., 2002; Abrahams et al., 1999). In order to construct novel frameworks through both coordination and hydrogen bonding, we have recently become interested in the synthesis of metal complexes with DMBDIZ (2,6-dimethyl-benzo[1,2 - d:4,5 - d']diimidazole). This ligand is not only capable of adopting various coordination modes, but can also form multiple hydrogen bonds, which may provide a tool in crystal-engineering design for assembling building blocks into multi-dimensional structures (Aakeröy et al., 2001; Holman et al., 2001). We present here the crystal structure of a mononuclear cobalt complex, (I), which forms a three-dimensional network through hydrogen bonding and aromatic π–π stacking.
As shown in Fig. 1, the cobalt ion has a distorted tetrahedral geometry, with four N-binding sites, one from the each of the two DMBDIZ ligands and two from the N-bonded thiocyanate anions. The N9—Co1 and N10—Co1 bond distances are slightly different and the C21—N10—Co1 and C22—N9—Co1 angles are notably different (Table 1) indicating that the environments of the two thiocyanate anions are not the same, which is also consistent with the IR spectrum, which shows two peaks due to the N-bonded thiocyanate anions. Both DMBDIZ ligands are planar; the dihedral angle between the two planes is 63.39 (7)° and the bond lengths all are within the expected range for a delocalized imidazole system (Tomlin et al., 2000).
The geometry of the imidazole rings is asymmetrical about the line passing through the apical C atoms (C1/C10 and C11/C20 in the two ligands), as the N1—C2/N2—C2 and N7—C12/N8—C12 bond lengths are different, thereby indicating that N2 and N8 are amines. Thus, the imine N atoms are located cis with respect to one another in the two DMDBIZ ligands.
The hydrogen-bonded network of this cis isomer leads to an efficient crystal packing. Since only one N atom in each ligand takes part in the metal coordination, the second imine N atom acts as an H-atom acceptor, forming a hydrogen bond with the NH moiety of an adjacent ligand. In total, each complex is connected to the adjacent complex molecules via eight hydrogen bonds (see Table 2).
As shown in Fig. 2, the complexes are linked into a one-dimensional chain along the c axis though hydrogen bonds between the DMDBIZ ligands and the thiocyanate anions [N8—H8A···S1i and N2—H2A···S2iv]. Furthermore, these chains are linked into a three-dimensional network through intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the DMDBIZ ligands [N3—H3A···N1iii and N6—H6A···N7ii] along the a and b axes. The two pairs of DMDBIZ ligands formed through S···H—N hydrogen bonds are each arranged in an antiparallel fashion with mean distances between the DMDBIZ planes of 3.419 (5) and 3.556 (3), indicative of an aromatic π–π-stacking interaction (Ho et al., 1999).
