Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride (1 g, 0.003 mol) was dissolved in hot water (20 ml) with mechanical stirring. In a second beaker, the sodium salt of para-fluorobenzoic acid (1.825 g, 0.011 mol) was dissolved in hot water (20 ml). These solutions were mixed and allowed to cool slowly to room temperature. After 1 d, orange crystals were formed, which were filtered off and dried in air. The overall yield is quantitative (m.p. 478 K). Elemental analysis is consistent with the composition Na[Co(NH3)6](FC6H4CO2)4·H2O.
H atoms bound to C atoms were placed in calculated positions and allowed to ride during subsequent refinement, with C—H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms of the NH3 groups were located in difference Fourier maps and refined with isotropic displacement parameters. All nine independent N—H bond lengths were restrained to a common refined value with a standard uncertainty of 0.01 Å. The single unique H atom of the water molecule was also located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically without restraint.

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. |

We are currently engaged in studies to explore cobalt(III) complexes as potential anion receptors and have reported previously the crystal structures of some hexaamminecobalt(III) salts with organic sulphonate (Sharma et al., 2004) and benzoate anions (Sharma et al., 2005). The cation [Co(NH3)6]3+ has also been characterized previously in several structures containing organic carboxylate anions, including [Co(NH3)6]2(Ox)3·4H2O (Ox is oxalate; Gorol et al., 2000) and [Co(NH3)6][(NpO2)2(HMal)(Mal)]·Mal (Mal is malonate; Grigor'ev et al. 2004). In continuation of our interest in this class of compounds, we describe here the crystal structure of sodium hexaamminecobalt(III) para-fluorobenzoate monohydrate, Na[Co(NH3)6](FC6H4CO2)4·H2O, (I) (Fig. 1).
In compound (I), the [Co(NH3)6]3+ cations lie on centres of inversion, with an approximately regular octahedral coordination geometry about Co1 (Table 1). There are three crystallographically distinct para-fluorobenzoate anions: one (containing atom F1) lies on a general position, and two (containing atoms F2 and F3) lie on twofold axes. The bond distances and angles in each case are unremarkable. The dihedral angles between the least-squares plane through the six C atoms of the phenyl ring and the plane of the carboxylate group are 8.6 (1), 13.4 (1) and 2.1 (1)° in the three distinct moieties, respectively. Similar near-planar geometry is observed for para-fluorobenzoate or para-fluorobenzoic acid in the relatively small number of crystal structures reported previously. Of 11 examples in the Cambridge Structural Database (November 2004 release plus 2 updates; Allen, 2002), the maximum dihedral angle is ca 18° in the CuII complex salt [Cu(NH2(CH2)2NH(CH2)2OH)2](FC6H4CO2)2 (Qu et al., 2004).
The [Co(NH3)6]3+ cations in (I) are arranged into layers parallel to the ac plane, lying at y = 1/4 and y = 3/4. The C4 axes of the cations lie approximately perpendicular to the layer planes (Fig. 2). The Na+ cations and water molecules also lie within these layers, so that the hydrophobic and charged portions of the structure are segregated. The FC6H4CO2− anions display essentially two modes of interaction with the [Co(NH3)6]3+ anions, namely edge-to-face and vertex-to-face (Fig. 3). In the first crystallographically distinct anion (containing atoms O1 and O2), the CO2− group forms an edge-to-face interaction with a neighbouring [Co(NH3)6]3+ cation [N1—H11···O1iii, N2—H21···O2iii and N3—H31···O2iii; symmetry code (iii) x, y, z − 1; Table 2]. One O atom of the same CO2− group (O1) also forms a vertex-to-face interaction with a second [Co(NH3)6]3+ cation, in which all three N···O contacts are of comparable magnitude [N1—H13···O1ii, N2—H23···O1 and N3—H32···O1ii; symmetry code (ii) 1/2 − x, 1/2 − y, 1 − z]. Atom O2 also forms two opposing corners in the basal plane of the square-pyramidal twofold symmetric coordination environment of Na1 (Table 1). In the other two crystallographically distinct FC6H4CO2− anions, the two O atoms of each CO2− group form identical interactions (related by twofold rotation axes). In the first anion, atom O3 forms a vertex-to-face interaction comprising one clear non-hydrogen-bonded N···O contact [N2···O3 3.4419 (16) Å], one intermediate N···O contact with a bent N—H···O geometry [N3···O3 3.1548 (16) Å and N3—H33···O3 122 (2)°], and one clear hydrogen bond (N1—H12···O3ii; Table 2). The same O atom also forms the remaining two corners of the basal plane around Na1. In the second anion, atom O4 forms a more symmetrical vertex-to-face interaction with [Co(NH3)6]3+, comprising two clear hydrogen bonds (N2—H22···O4 and N3—H33···O4ii; Table 2) and one longer bent N—H···O contact [N1···H12 2.9533 (15) Å and N1—H12···O4 103 (1)°].
In projection onto the plane of a single layer (Fig. 4), the [Co(NH3)6]3+ cations of (I) form an approximate primitive rectangular arrangement of dimensions ca 6.5 × 7.5 Å. The shorter side of the rectangular arrangement is formed by [Co(NH3)6]3+ cations linked via the anions containing atoms O1 and O2, and the longer sides of the rectangles are linked by anions containing atoms O3 and O4. The centres of these rectangles are occupied by Na+ ions. The axial coordination site of Na1 is occupied by a water molecule, which forms O—H···O hydrogen bonds to atom O4 (Table 2). The [NaO5] square pyramids are situated so that the axial water molecules lie on twofold axes and point into the centres of the layers. Between layers, the phenyl rings of the FC6H4CO2− anions interdigitate in an edge-to-face manner similar to that observed in p-FC6H4NH3+X− (X is Br or I), for example (Klebe et al., 1983).
The structure of (I) is closely comparable with that of the benzoate salt Na[Co(NH3)6](C6H5CO2)4·H2O (Sharma et al., 2005). The layers in the ac plane are essentially identical in both cases, but the structure of (I) expands by ca 1 Å along the b direction to accommodate the fluoro-substituents. This demonstrates that fluorination of the benzoate anion in the para-position has no significant influence on its second-sphere interactions with [Co(NH3)6]3+, and minimal influence on the gross crystal structure.
