In the mononuclear title complex, [HgCl2(C22H17N3)], synthesized from the quinoline-derived Schiff base N1-phenyl-N4-[(quinolin-2-yl)methyl­idene]benzene-1,4-di­amine (PQMBD) and HgCl2, the coordination sphere around the Hg2+ atom is distorted tetra­hedral, comprising two Cl atoms [Hg—Cl = 2.3487 (14) and 2.4490 (15) Å] and two N atom donors from the PQMBD ligand, viz. the quinolyl and the imine N atom [Hg—N = 2.270 (4) and 2.346 (4) Å, respectively]. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings attached to the amino group is 43.7 (3)°. In the crystal, N—H...Cl and C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, as well as π–π stacking inter­actions between one phenyl ring and the pyridine ring of the quinoline moiety of an adjacent mol­ecule [centroid-to-centroid separation = 3.617 (4) Å] are observed, resulting in a three-dimensional network.

(2003); Petrusenko et al. (1997). The amino group of the title compound is separated from the chelating unit which makes this complex a possible precursor for further functionalization, eventually yielding binuclear compounds as reported by Fritsky et al. (1998, 2006) and Kanderal et al. (2005).

Experimental top

The iminoquinolyl ligand N1-phenyl-N4-[(quinolin-2-yl)methylidene]benzene-1,4-diamine (PQMBD) was prepared by reacting 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde (0.085 g, 0.54 mmol) with one equivalent of N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (0.100 g, 0.54 mmol) and was obtained in 88% yield (0.15 g). The obtained compound was characterized by FT–IR, NMR and ESI-mass spectroscopy: IR (KBr, ν / cm-1): 3417, 3052 (C-H arom), 1620 (CN), 1515, 1313, 843, 756. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ /p.p.m.): 8.85 (1H, S), 8.37 (1H, d), 8.23 (1H, d), 8.16 (1H, d), 7.86 (1H, d), 7.75 (1H, t), 7.58 (1H, t), 7.40 (2H, d), 7.30 (1H, t), 7.13 (5H, m), 6.51 (1H, t). ESI-MS m/z: 324 (M+1).

PQMBD (0.10 g, 0.31 mmol), mercury(II) chloride (0.08 g, 0.31 mmol) and ethanol (5 ml) were stirred vigorously for 1 h, after which the precipitate was filtered off and redissolved in dimethylformamide. Crystals of the title complex suitable for X-ray analysis was obtained within 3 days by slow evaporation of the DMF solvent.

Refinement top

The N-bound H-atom was located in a difference Fourier maps, and the positions restrained to N—H = 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). All other H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
