Comment top

Owing to their biological activity and chemical/industrial versatility, metal-hydrazine complexes have received considerable attention. For instance, Schiff base hydrazine and its analogues have been well studied in order to understand better the mechanism of enzymes containing vitamin B6 (Maghler et al., 1982; Rath et al., 1997; Rath et al., 1998)

Herein, we report the structure of the title compound, [Co4(C15H12N2O4)4].4C3H7NO. As shown in Fig. 1, the asymmetric unit comprises one N-(2-hydroxy-benzoyl)-N-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxo-benzoylidene)hydrazine anion and one CoII cation. These are linked into tetrameric complexes about positions of 4 point symmetry. Each CoII cation adopts a distorted 6-coordinate geometry through one N and three O atoms lying in the equatorial plane, with the Co1—O3 bond lying to one side of this plane and the longer Co1—O4 bond lying on the opposite side.

One motivation to study the Schiff base hydrazine and its analogues is to understand better the mechanism of enzymes containing vitamin B6. For related literature, see: Maghler et al. (1982); Rath et al. (1997, 1998).

Experimental top

All chemicals were used as purchased from Shanghai Sci & Tec Co. Ltd. A solution of cobalt(II) acetate (0.5 mmol) and N-(2-hydroxy-benzoyl)-N-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxo-benzoylidene)hydrazine (0.5 mmol) in DMF (10 ml) was refluxed for 2 h then filtered. Red crystals were obtained after a few days standing at room temperature with a yield of 25%. Elemental analysis calculated: C 51.89, H 4.56, N 10.09%; found: C 51.82, H 4.60, N 10.01%.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed geometrically and refined as riding with C—H = 0.93, N—H = 0.86 and O—H = 0.82 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C/N) or 1.5Ueq(O).

Special details top

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.
