In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Co(C6H8N3S)3], the CoIII atom is octahedrally coordinated by three monodeprotonated bidentate 3,5-di­methyl-1H-pyrazole-1-thio­carbox­amide ligands with two thio­carbox­amide N atoms in axial positions. The asymmetric unit contains two mol­ecules (A and B) and these mol­ecules are arranged in chains in an alternating fashion connected by N—H...S interactions.

Comment top

The complexing properties of pyrazole (py) derivatives have been the subject of extensive research (Trofimenko, 1972, 1986, 1993). Much of this interest stems from the biological activity of these molecules, which has been attributed to their chelating properties. This has stimulated research into the mode of coordination and the factors which influence it, especially with regard to the ambidentate nature of some of these molecules. The other subject of these investigations are the supramolecular structures of the complexes containing pyrazole moieties. The rigidity of the pyrazole ring and the possibility of attaching different chemical groups to the base fragment have made these molecules a convenient choice in attempts to control the manner of association of molecules in the solid state. Thus, pyrazole-based ligands containing hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor sites in the same molecule have been used to mediate intermolecular interactions (Smithson et al., 2003), and particulary to influence the metal–metal distance (Meyer et al., 1998). As part of our research on the coordination chemistry of pyrazole-derived ligands (Jaćimović et al., 1999; Tomić et al., 2000), this paper reports the crystal structure of a new cobalt(III) complex, (I), of the ligand 3,5-dimethylpyrazole-1-thiocarboxamide. Recently, the crystal structures of the CoIII, (II) (Barik et al., 2000), and NiII (Barik et al., 1999) complexes of the closely related ligand 1-(N-ethylthiocarbamoyl)-3,5-dimethylpyrazole have been reported. In the CoIII complex (II), three molecules of the ligand coordinate to the metal atom in a bidentate manner in an octahedral fashion, leading to a trans arrangement of the ligands. In the square-planar NiII complex, the ligands are cis coordinated via the ring N and thiol S atoms. Thus, the ambidentate nature of the ligand has been confirmed and the mode of binding has been explained in terms of the HSAB model (Pearson, 1963, 1987). The difference between the ligand in (I) and (II) is to do with the different atom attached to the coordinated thiocarboxamide N atom; in (I), the attached atom is an H atom, while in (II) it is the C atom of an ethyl group. The aim of the present work is to investigate how a variation in the type and disposition of hydrogen-bond donors/acceptors in novel complex (I) and its counterpart (II) influence the packing of the molecules, when the ligands otherwise have similar structural characteristics and overall shape.

The crystallographic asymmetric unit of (I) consists of two complex molecules. Three monodeprotonated molecules of the thiocarboxamide (thiocarb) ligand coordinate to the CoIII atom through the pyrazole-ring N atoms (N3, N6 and N9) and the thiocarboxamide N atoms (N1, N4 and N7). The coordination could be best described as distorted octahedral with thiocarboxamide atoms N1 and N4 in the axial (ax) positions (Fig. 1). Each type of N-donor atom is in a meridional arrangement. The two independent molecules (A and B) have similar bond distances and angles around the metal atom, indicating a similar overall shape of the two coordination polyhedra (Table 1). Comparison of the bond distances (Å) in the coordination polyhedron of compound (I) with the distances observed in (II) [Co—Nax = 1.933 (2) versus 1.933 (2) Å, Co—Neq = 1.922 (2)/1.937 (2) versus 1.933 (2)/1.937 (2) Å] shows that in (I) the octahedron is more compressed along the axial bonds. In the equatorial plane of (I), the Co—Npy bond which is trans to the Co—Nthiocarb bond is significantly longer than the other bonding distances in the polyhedron. In (II), where all coordinated pyrazole and thiocarboxamide N atoms are in trans positions, the difference in the bond distances is not so pronounced. If we look at the orientation of the ethyl group in (II) and consider the possible alternative disposition of the thio and pyrazole N atoms in the coordination polyhedron, it is obvious that the ligands are oriented in such way as to avoid close contact of the ethyl groups. This suggests that while in (II) it is the steric effects which govern the configuration of the complex, in (I) there is no such influence and it could be supposed that the electronic properties of the ligand and the metal atom are the main factors in determining the mode of coordination. Following location of all the atoms of the cobalt complex, residual electron density was observed, suggesting the presence of solvent molecules. However, attempts to refine the positions of these molecules failed. To correct for the contribution of the solvent molecules, the SQUEEZE procedure of PLATON (van der Sluis & Spek, 1990) was used and the solvent-free model was used in the final refinement.

The presence of both hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors makes the title molecule potentially suitable for the formation of an extended three-dimensional structure. However, due to ommision of the solvent molecules it was not possible to analyse the hydrogen-bonding interactions fully. In (I), both independent molecules form the same patern of intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 2). As was expected, the association of molecules is governed by N—H···S interactions and results in the formation of a chain consisting of alternating A and B molecules (Fig. 2). A weak C—H···S interaction (C11B—H30···S2A = 2.82 Å and 154°) connects neighbouring chains. To gain additional insight into the factors important for the supramolecular arrangment of this kind of complex, we will compare the present structure with that of compound (II). In (II), all H atoms are bonded to pyrazole or to the methyl C atom. Such an arrangement of donor and acceptor atoms leads to the formation of an extended structure, which could be described as an assosiation of molecules into sheets along the bc plane, and the conection of these sheets along the ab plane (C11—H16···S3 = 2.84 Å and 154°; C3—H4···S2 = 2.84 Å and 143°). Only H atoms bonded to pyrazole C atoms participate in these interactions. Fig. 3 shows the part of the unit cell with the designated contacts leading to the assosiation of molecules. With regard to the difference in the structure of the ligand in (I) and (II), it is interesting to note that, as a consequence of the stronger N—H···S bonds and the absence of stericaly more demanding ethyl groups, in the title complex, molecules are packed more tightly. The distances between the closest Co atoms are 6.802 and 11.797 Å for (I) and (II), respectively.

Experimental top

The title complex was synthesized by mixing a hot methanol solution of Co(OAc)2·4H2O (0.124 g, 0.5 mmol) and a hot methanol solution of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole-1-thiocarboxamide (0.16 g, 1 mmol). The reaction mixture, which had an intensive red colour, was warmedd and allowed to crystallize. After 10 h, the resulting solution was filtered and the pink crystals obtained were washed with methanol. Found/calulated (%): C 41.30/41.45, H 4.38/4.78, N 22.60/24.17.

Refinement top

H atoms attached to C atoms were included in idealized positions (C—H = 0.93 Å), while those attached to N atoms were located in a difference map. All H atoms were refined using a riding model. There are two solvent-accesible voids per unit cell. The symmetry-unique void is located at 0,0,0. PLATON (Spek, 2003) estimated that solvent-accesible region to occupy 406 Å and account for 86 e per unit cell.

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.
