[Rh2(acam)4(H2O)2]ClO4 was prepared by the method described by Baranovskii et al. (1986). Into a methanol solution of [Rh2(acam)4(H2O)2]ClO4 (3.1 mmol l−1), a methanol solution of CoCl2·6H2O (0.21 mol l−1) was diffused slowly. After several days, brown crystals of (I) were obtained.
The positional parameters of the H atom attached to O were refined with Uiso(H) values of 1.5Ueq(O). All other H atoms were placed in idealized positions and treated as riding atoms, with C—H distances of 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) values of 1.5Ueq(C), and with N—H distances of 0.88 Å and Uiso(H) of 1.2Ueq(N).

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. |

A halide-bridged one-dimensional chain is commonly observed in structures with metal–metal-bonded paddlewheel complexes such as K[Mo2(O2CH)4Cl] (Robbins & Martin, 1984), [Pt2(S2CR)4I] (Bellitto et al., 1983; Kitagawa et al., 2001; Mitsumi et al., 2002) and [Ru2(O2CR)4X] (X = Cl and Br; Angaridis, 2005). The chain in K[Mo2(O2CH)4Cl] is a zigzag one, that in [Pt2(S2CR)4I] is linear and [Ru2(O2CR)4X] contains both types. We have reported assemblies of acetamidate-bridged dirhodium paddlewheel complexes with halide linkers, viz. one-dimensional chain structures in [Rh2(acam)4(µ-X)].nH2O (Hacam is acetamide; X = Cl, Br and I; n = 0, 2, 3 and 7; Yang et al., 2000, 2001), a two-dimensional honeycomb structure in [{Rh2(acam)4}3(µ3-Cl)2]·4H2O (Takazaki et al., 2003), and a three-dimensional diamondoid structure in [{Rh2(acam)4}2(µ4-I)]·6H2O (Fuma et al., 2004). In the zigzag chain structure of [Rh2(acam)4(µ-X)].nH2O, the Rh—Cl—Rh angle varies with the hydrogen bonding involving the water molecules. We have attempted to synthesize the chain structure with solvent molecules other than water. In this paper, we report the zigzag chain structure of [Rh2(acam)4(µ-Cl)]·CH3OH, (I).
The structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. There are one independent [Rh2(acam)4Cl] unit and one methanol molecule in the asymmetric unit. The bond distances in the [Rh2(acam)4] skeleton are similar to those observed previously for the cationic [Rh2(acam)4] unit (Yang et al., 2000, 2001, 2006; Ebihara & Fuma, 2006; Baranovskii et al., 1986). The [Rh2(acam)4Cl] unit forms an infinite zigzag chain structure (Fig. 2) as in [Rh2(acam)4(µ-Cl)] and [Rh2(acam)4(µ-Cl)]·7H2O (Yang et al., 2000, 2001).
In the reported zigzag chain structures of [M2L4X] (M = Ru and Rh, L = O2CR, HN(O)CR, and X = Cl, Br and I; Bennett et al., 1969; Togano et al., 1980; Kimura et al., 1982; Chakravarty & Cotton, 1985; Chakravarty et al., 1985; Das & Chakravarty, 1991; Abe et al., 1992; Barral et al., 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004; Cukiernik et al., 1998; Yang et al., 2000, 2001), the dimetal unit usually lies on an inversion center or on a twofold axis. For example, in the chain structure of [Rh2(acam)4(µ-Cl)] (Yang et al., 2001), which crystallizes in C2/c, the dirhodium unit lies on an inversion center and the Cl atom lies on a twofold axis. In the structure of [Ru2(O2CC6H4OMe)4Cl] (Das & Chakravarty, 1991), there are three independent diruthenium units of which two lie on inversion centers and one occupies a general position. In the structure of (I), the chain is propagated along the c axis with each unit of the complex connected to adjacent units generated by the c-glide plane at y = 1/4. Compound (I) is the first example of a zigzag chain constructed from one independent paddlewheel complex that does not have any symmetry.
The Rh—Cl—Rh angles in [Rh2(acam)4(µ-Cl)] and [Rh2(acam)4(µ-Cl)]·7H2O are 115.48 (10) and 153.50 (6)°, respectively. Since the corresponding angle in (I) is 114.59 (5)°, the chain structure in (I) more closely resembles that in [Rh2(acam)4(µ-Cl)]. The hydrogen bonds from NH of the acam ligands to O atoms of the next complexes along the chain [N1···O4i and N3···O2ii; symmetry codes: (i) x, −y + 1/2, z − 1/2; (ii) x, −y + 1/2, z + 1/2; Table 2] also support the chain structure, as was observed in [Rh2(acam)4(µ-Cl)] (Yang et al., 2001). The CH3OH molecule lies beside the chain, accepting a hydrogen bond from an N atom of an acam ligand (N2) and donating a hydrogen bond to an O atom of a neighboring complex (O2ii).
The Rh—Rh—Cl angles in (I) (Table 1) are slightly more bent than that in [Rh2(acam)4(µ-Cl)] [174.52 (4)°]. Rh1—Cl1 and Rh2—Cl1i (Table 1) are both different from the corresponding value in [Rh2(acam)4(µ-Cl)] [2.581 (1) Å]. The difference between these Rh—Cl distances is very large (ca 0.1 Å). In the previously reported chain structures, the largest differences (ca 0.04 Å) between M—Cl bonds were observed in [Ru2{HN(O)CC6H4R}4(µ-Cl)] [R = H (Chakravarty & Cotton, 1985) and R = Cl (Chakravarty et al., 1985). The long–short pattern of the M—Cl bonds in the Cl—MM—Cl—MM—Cl unit is long–long–short–short for [Ru2(HN(O)CC6H4R)4(µ-Cl)] since two independent diruthenium units lie on inversion centers, but long–short–long–short for (I).
The chains are mutually parallel and are connected to each other by a pair of hydrogen bonds [N4···O3iii and N4iii···O3; symmetry code: (iii) −x + 1, −y + 1, −z + 1]. These interchain hydrogen bonds were not observed in other chain structures with amidate-bridged paddlewheel complexes (Chakravarty & Cotton, 1985; Chakravarty et al., 1985; Yang et al., 2000, 2001).
