In the symmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(C7H5O3)(C14H12N2)(H2O)2]NO3, the Co2+ cation is coordinated by a bidentate 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) ligand, a bidentate 3-hydroxy­benzoate anion and two water mol­ecules in a distorted octa­hedral environment. The 3-hydroxy­benzoate ligand, Co atom and nitrate anion are situated on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. The OH group of the benzoate anion is disordered over two symmetry-related positions with site-occupancy factors of 0.5. An extensive series of O—H...O hydrogen bonds, involving water mol­ecules and 3-hydroxy­benzoate and nitrate anions, and weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds lead to a supra­molecular network structure.

Comment top

We have recently reported the structure of diaqua(3-hydroxy-benzoato-κ2O,O')(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N')nickel(II) nitrate (Xuan et al. 2007). We report herein the isomorphous cobalt analogue,Co(C7H5O3)(C14H12N2)(H2O)2].NO3, (I).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound is composed of one half of the CoII complex cation and one half of the non-coordinated nitrate anion: a twofold rotation axis passes through the central CoII atom, N atom and one O atom of the nitrate anion. The metal is in a distorted octahedral environment, being six-coordinated by two N atoms from the dmphen ligand and two O atoms from the carboxyl group of the 3-hydroxy-benzoate anion, defining the equatorial plane, and two O atoms from two water molecules in the apical position (Table 1). The OH group on the 3-hydroxybenzoate ligand is disordered over two symmetry-related positions with equal site occupancy.

The crystal structure is stabilized by a network of O—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2 and Figure 2). The former interactions link molecules into two-dimensional networks parallel to (010) while the latter ones join them along the [010] direction generating a three-dimensional framework.

The structure of a closely related Ni complex has been reported by Xuan & Zhao (2007).

Experimental top

To a solution of 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (C14H12N2.0.5H2O, 0.1096 g, 0.5 mmol), 3-hydroxy-benzoate (0.1382 g, 1 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (0.03820 g, 1 mmol) in ethanol/water (v:v=1:1, 20 ml) was added a solution of Co(NO3)2.6H2O (0.1458 g, 0.5 mmol) in distilled water (10 ml). The resulting solution was stirred for 5 h at 323 K and then a pink precipitate was filtered. Brown single crystals of (I) were obtained by slow evaporation of the filtrate over two weeks.

Refinement top

The OH group of the benzoate anion is disordered over two symmetry-related positions with equal occupancy. The carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with d(C—H) = 0.93 Å, Uiso=1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic and 0.96 Å, Uiso = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3 atoms. The hydroxyl H atoms were placed in calculated positions (O—H =0.82 Å) and refined with free torsion angles to fit the electron density; water H atoms were found in a difference Fourier and allowed to ride. For all O—H's, Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(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.
