In both title compounds, C18H24N2O2, (Ia), and C18H26­N2O22+·2ClO4, (II), respectively, the two aryl rings are strictly parallel, with an inversion centre lying at the mid-point of each central CH2—CH2 bond. Mol­ecules in (Ia) are linked into two-dimensional layers by N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The component ions in (II) are joined together by a combination of N/O/C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π and anion...π inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional network. A structural understanding of (Ia) and (II) may provide some useful information about how and why their metal–organic complexes display various biological activities and function in catalytic processes.

Comment top

In recent decades, tetradentate Schiff bases known generally as SalenH2 (Kahwa et al., 1986) have been studied extensively owing to their potential biological activities, e.g. antibacterial, antitumour (Santos et al., 2001; Viswanathan et al., 1998; García-Zarracino et al., 2002) and catalytic (Mohebbi et al., 2005). They not only offer greater flexibility than the corresponding Schiff bases, but also adopt two additional sites capable of σ-bonding which should be helpful in designing new useful inorganic complexes (Atwood & Rutherford, 1995; Xu et al., 2004; Tinoco et al., 2007). In order to gain more insight into these analogues, we have synthesized a new tetradentate ligand, (Ia), containing an N2O2 donor set, and its diammonium bis(perchlorate), (II), and we report their molecular and supramolecular structures.

Both title compounds crystallize in space group P21/c, with only one-half of the molecule representing the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1). The conformation of the central chain in (Ia) is described by the torsion angles of C3—C2—N1—C1 = -72.6 (1)°, C2—N1—C1—C1i = 175.5 (1)° and N1—C1—C1i—N1i constrained by symmetry to be 180° [symmetry code: (i) -x, 1 - y, -z], resulting in the less common gauchetranstrans conformation (Xia et al., 2006). The corresponding angles in (II) are -178.9 (3), -168.1 (3) and 180°, respectively, forming the general transtranstrans conformation (Palladino et al., 2006; Matiková-Maľarová et al., 2007; Yang, Wang et al., 2007; Yang, Han et al., 2007; Liu et al., 2007). Both N atoms in the tetradentate ligand can be potentially coordinated to a metal ion, according to previously reported analogues (Panda et al., 2004; Ghosh et al., 1994), giving rise to many other conformations. This indicates that these highly flexible molecules can freely rotate about all the σ bonds. However, when (II) is coordinated to a metal ion, it should first be deprotonated using a moderately basic medium.

Although a similar C(7) motif (Bernstein et al., 1995) exists in both compounds, in (Ia) it is formed by intramolecular O1—H1E···N1 hydrogen bonds, and in (II) by N1—H1C···O1 hydrogen bonds. In order to investigate further the reason for this, the hydrogen-bonding energy and the total molecular energy of the two practical and one posulated conformations were calculated according to our earlier method (Hu et al., 1999; Hu, 1998) using the program GAUSSIAN03W (Frisch et al., 2004) at the RB3LYP/6-31G(d) level. It can be seen from Table 1 that the dication has the lowest total molecular energy and the postulated form (Ib) has the highest one. The Mulliken charges on the N atoms in (Ia) and (Ib) are -0.594 and -0.569, respectively. This indicates that the neutral N atoms in (Ia) may be more easily protonated than those in (Ib). We also have found that when Lewis acids are absent, the neutral molecules preferentially adopt conformation (Ia). Some contrast experiments have been carried out by displacing the solvent with ethanol, acetone and water. However, no crystals adopting conformation (Ib) were obtained.

In the crystal structure of (Ia), the molecules are linked by means of N—H···O hydrogen bonds into two-dimensional layers. Amino atom N1 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H1C, to the hydroxyl atom O1 in the molecule at (-x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 - z), forming a one-dimensional C(7) chain running parallel to the [010] direction, which is generated by the 21 screw axis at (0, y, 1/4). Adjacent C(7) chains related by the inversion centres at the mid-point of the CH2—CH2 unit thus link the molecules into two-dimensional layers (Fig. 2) running parallel to the (100) plane. There are two halves of such a layer passing through the unit cell, with the reference layer in the domain -0.474 < x < 0.474 and the other in the domain 0.526 < x < 1.474. No C—H···π or ππ stacking interactions are observed between adjacent layers.

In the crystal structure of (II), the component ions are linked into a three-dimensional network by a combination of N/O/C—H···O hydrogen bonds and C—H···π and anion···π interactions, which can be readily analysed in terms of two simple substructures. First, the combined actions of five inter-ion hydrogen bonds (Table 2) and their respective equivalents result in two-dimensional layers running parallel to the (100) plane. The reference two-dimensional layer lies within the domain -0.065< x < 1.065 and there is only one such layer passing through the unit cell (Fig. 3). Analysis by PLATON (Spek, 2003) indicates that a rather weak anion···π interaction exists within the two-dimensional layer formed between the perchlorate anion at (x, y, z) and the phenyl ring at (x, y - 1, z) [O3···Cg1 = 3.849 (6) Å and Cl1—O3···Cg1 = 117.5 (3)°; Cg1 denotes the centroid of the C3–C8 ring]. Secondly, neighbouring layers are interlinked by weak C—H···π interactions (Table 2) into a three-dimensional network. In more detail, aromatic atom C7 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as donor to the phenyl ring at (2 - x, 1/2 + y, 3/2 - z), so producing a two-dimensional layer parallel to the (102) plane generated by cooperative action between the 21 screw axis and the inversion centre (Fig. 4). These two types of (100) and (102) layers are joined together to form a three-dimensional network in (II).

In summary, the crystal structures of a ligand with an N2O2 donor set and its ammonium perchlorate have been reported. In (Ia), the neutral molecules are linked into a two-dimensional layer. The component ions in (II) are joined together, forming a three-dimensional network. Further research on the synthesis of metal–organic complexes containing the ligand and their potential application is underway in our laboratory.

Experimental top

All reagents and solvents were used as obtained without further purification. A mixture of ethylenediamine (2 g, 0.03 mol) and 2-(hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde (8 g, 0.06 mol) was stirred at 348 K for 10 h, and then the resulting white precipitate was removed by filtration and dried in a vacuum. The white precipitate (4 g, 0.013 mol), LiAlH4 (1 g, 0.026 mol) and THF (50 ml) were stirred at 333 K for 6 h. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation to yield 6.7 g of a powder. Plate colourless crystals of (Ia) suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis were grown by slow evaporation of its methanol solution (10 ml) at room temperature. To prepare compound (II), the powder of (Ia) (2 g) was dissolved in methanol (15 ml) adjusted to pH 5 using HClO4. Block colourless crystals of (II) were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent over several days.

Refinement top

For both compounds, H atoms bonded to C atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic) or 0.97 Å (methylene), and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms bonded to N and O atoms were found in difference Fourier maps, with N—H and O—H distances refined freely [Please give ranges] and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N) or 1.5Ueq(O).

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.

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.
