The reaction of nickel(II) nitrate hexa­hydrate with the proton-transfer compound piperazinediium pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl­ate, or (pipzH2)(pydc) (in which pipz is piperazine and pydcH2 is pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid), in aqueous solution leads to the formation of the title compound, (pipzH2)[Ni(pydc)2]·4H2O or (C4H12N2)[Ni(C7H3NO4)2]·4H2O. The anion is a six-coordinate complex with a distorted octa­hedral geometry around NiII. The torsion angles show that the two (pydc)2– units are almost perpendicular to each other. Considerable π–π stacking inter­actions between two aromatic rings of (pydc)2–, with distances of 3.4686 (14) and 3.5034 (14) Å, are observed. Extensive inter­molecular O—H...O, N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonding involving the (pydc)2– ligand, (pipzH2)2+ as counter-ion and uncoordinated water mol­ecules connect the various components into a supra­molecular structure.

Comment top

The intermolecular binding forces in supramolecular systems may consist of ion pairing, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic or hydrophilic, host guest, π-π stacking and donor-acceptor interactions. In order to develop new types of proton transfer compounds and hydrogen bonding systems, our research group has recently focused on one-pot synthesis of water soluble self-assembly systems that can function as suitable ligands in the synthesis of metal complexes.

Here, we report on the synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of the title compound, (I). The selected bond lengths, bond and torsion angles are given in Table 1 which are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). Accordingto the crystal structure of (I), the NiII compound is composed of an anionic complex, [Ni(pydc)2]2–, piperazinediium as counter-ion, (pipzH2)2+, and four uncoordinated water molecules. Atoms N1 and N2 of the two (pydc)2– fragments occupy the axial positions, while atoms O1, O4, O5 and O8 form the equatorial plane. The N1—Ni1—N2 angle deviates slightly from linearity [172.66 (8)°]. Therefore, the coordination around NiII is distorted octahedral.

The O1—Ni1—O8 and O4—Ni1—O5 angles are equal to 87.00 (6) and 87.82 (6)°, respectively. On the other hand, O4—Ni1—O5—C8 and O5—Ni1—O4—C7 torsion angles are -92.26 (16)° and -84.08 (16)°, respectively indicating that two (pydc)2– units are almost perpendicular to each other (Table 1). Considerable π-π stacking interactions between two aromatic rings of (pydc)2–, with distances of 3.4686 (14) Å and 3.5034 (14) Å are observed (Fig. 2) (Aghabozorg, Aghajani & Sharif, 2006; Aghabozorg, Zabihi et al., 2006). In the crystal structure, the spaces between two layers of [Ni(pydc)2]2– fragments are filled with layers of (pipzH2)2+ cations and water molecules (Fig. 3). The most important features of the crystal structure of (I) is the presence of a large number of O—H···O, N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds, with D···A distances ranging from 2.696 (3) to 3.457 (3) Å between (pipzH2)2+ and [Ni(pydc)2]2– fragments and uncoordinated water molecules. (Table 2). Ion pairing and van der Waals interactions are also effective in the packing. These interactions result in the formation of a supramolecular structure (Fig. 4).

Related literature top

We have reported cases in which proton transfer from pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, pydcH2, and benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid, btcH4, to piperazine, pipz, and 1,10-phenanthroline, phen, resulted in the formation of novel self-assembled (pipzH2)(pydc) (Aghabozorg, Ghadermazi, Manteghi & Nakhjavan, 2006) and (phenH)4(btcH3)2(btcH2) (Aghabozorg, Ghadermazi & Attar Gharamaleki, 2006) systems, respectively. The resulting compounds with some remaining sites as electron donors can coordinate to many metallic ions (Aghabozorg, Ghasemikhah, Ghadermazi et al., 2006; Aghabozorg, Ghasemikhah, Soleimannejad et al., 2006).

Experimental top

The proton-transfer ion pair was prepared by a reaction between piperazine and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid. Starting with a 1:1 molar ratio of the reactants in THF, a puffy white precipitate was obtained. By recrystallization in an aqueous solution, pale-yellow crystals were obtained. A solution of Ni(NO3)2.6H2O (145 mg, 0.5 mmol) in water (20 ml) was added to an aqueous solution of (pipzH2)(pydc) (253 mg, 1.0 mmol) in water (20 ml) in a 1:2 molar ratio. Green crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray characterization were obtained after a few days at room temperature.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and refined with a riding model (including torsional freedom for methyl groups), with C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å, and with U(H) constrained to be 1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups) times Ueq of the carrier atom.

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.
