To a solution of [Mg(TPP)(H2O)] (Timkovich & Tulinsky, 1969) (15 mg, 0.022 mmol) in chlorobenzene (10 ml) was added an excess of 4-cyanopyridine (50 mg, 0.480 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature and at the end of the reaction, the color of the solution gradually changed from purple to blue–purple. Crystals of the title complex were obtained by diffusion of n-hexane through the chlorobenzene solution.
The H atoms of the statistically disordered aqua ligand were not consideredted. and all H atoms attached to C atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms of the water molecule were not located
The majority of the reported metalloporphyrin structures involve metals from the first-row transition series. However, the structures of magnesium porphyrins are also of interest because of their relationship to chlorophyll. but the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Allen, 2002) contains only 24 structures of these. In order to gain more insight into the geometry of the latter species, we report herein the crystal structure of the title complex, [Mg(TPP)(4-CNpy)(H2O)] (where TPP is the 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin dianion and 4-CNpy is 4-cyanopyridine).
In the title complex the Mg cation is octahedrally coordinated and lies on an inversion center with the axially-located 4-cyanopyridine and aqua ligands having occupancy factors of 0.5. The atoms of these disordered ligands are divided in two parts: in part 1, the fragment containing the atoms N3, C23, C24, C25A and C26A and in part 2, the atoms O1, N4, C25B and C26B, related by the symmetry code (i) -x, -y+1, -z+1. The 4-cyanopyridine ligand also has inversion symmetry with 50% occupancy [symmetry code (ii): -x+1, -y, -z+1] (Fig. 1). The average equatorial Mg—N(pyrrole) bond distance [2.062 (1) Å] is normal for Mg–porphyrin complexes. The Mg—O(H2O) bond length [2.3798 (12)Å] is longer than that found in the related complex [Mg(TPP)(H2O)] (2.012 (6) Å) (Choon et al., 1986) but is shorter than the one reported for the non-porphyrin complex catena-[diaquatetrakis(µ4-oxalato)-tris(µ2-oxalato)- dimagnesium-dipotassium-diuranium(IV) nonahydrate clathrate] [2.747 (5) Å] (Imaz et al., 2005).
The axial Mg—N(4-CNpy) bond length [2.3798 (12) Å] is longer than that found in the [Mg(TPP)][TCNQF4] complex [2.266 (2) Å] (where TCNQF4 is 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) (Hibbs et al., 2003), but is within the range of 2.152 (2)–2.57 (1) Å found for several magnesium-nitrile non-porphyrin complexes in the CSD [refcodes FEGQAJ (Etkin et al., 1998) and SISWUN (Yang et al., 2008) (Allen, 2002).
The crystal structure resembles a one-dimensional coordination polymer where two [Mg(TPP)] moieties are linked by statistically 50% disordered 4-cyanopyridine and H2O ligands. The crystal packing of the title compound is stabilized by weak C—H···π intermolecular interactions involving Cg pyrrole and phenyl rings (Table 1 and Fig. 2).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 majority of the reported metalloporphyrin structures involve metals from the first-row transition series. However, the structures of magnesium porphyrins are also of interest because of their relationship to chlorophyll. but the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Allen, 2002) contains only 24 structures of these. In order to gain more insight into the geometry of the latter species, we report herein the crystal structure of the title complex, [Mg(TPP)(4-CNpy)(H2O)] (where TPP is the 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin dianion and 4-CNpy is 4-cyanopyridine).
In the title complex the Mg cation is octahedrally coordinated and lies on an inversion center with the axially-located 4-cyanopyridine and aqua ligands having occupancy factors of 0.5. The atoms of these disordered ligands are divided in two parts: in part 1, the fragment containing the atoms N3, C23, C24, C25A and C26A and in part 2, the atoms O1, N4, C25B and C26B, related by the symmetry code (i) -x, -y+1, -z+1. The 4-cyanopyridine ligand also has inversion symmetry with 50% occupancy [symmetry code (ii): -x+1, -y, -z+1] (Fig. 1). The average equatorial Mg—N(pyrrole) bond distance [2.062 (1) Å] is normal for Mg–porphyrin complexes. The Mg—O(H2O) bond length [2.3798 (12)Å] is longer than that found in the related complex [Mg(TPP)(H2O)] (2.012 (6) Å) (Choon et al., 1986) but is shorter than the one reported for the non-porphyrin complex catena-[diaquatetrakis(µ4-oxalato)-tris(µ2-oxalato)- dimagnesium-dipotassium-diuranium(IV) nonahydrate clathrate] [2.747 (5) Å] (Imaz et al., 2005).
The axial Mg—N(4-CNpy) bond length [2.3798 (12) Å] is longer than that found in the [Mg(TPP)][TCNQF4] complex [2.266 (2) Å] (where TCNQF4 is 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) (Hibbs et al., 2003), but is within the range of 2.152 (2)–2.57 (1) Å found for several magnesium-nitrile non-porphyrin complexes in the CSD [refcodes FEGQAJ (Etkin et al., 1998) and SISWUN (Yang et al., 2008) (Allen, 2002).
The crystal structure resembles a one-dimensional coordination polymer where two [Mg(TPP)] moieties are linked by statistically 50% disordered 4-cyanopyridine and H2O ligands. The crystal packing of the title compound is stabilized by weak C—H···π intermolecular interactions involving Cg pyrrole and phenyl rings (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
