The title complex, [Co(C12H8FN2O)3]·3H2O, has been synthesized for the first time. The complex comprises three bidentate ligands containing the pyridine-2-carbox­amide stem. The distorted octahedral coordination around the Co atom is formed via the pyridine (py) N atom and the deprotonated amide N atom of each ligand, with the three pyridine rings in a meridional arrangement. For each ligand, the pyridine ring and the carbonyl group are nearly coplanar, with torsion angles in the range 0.4 (3)–4.8 (4)°. The Co—Npy distances [1.9258 (16)–1.9656 (17) Å] are shorter than the corresponding Co—Namide distances [1.9372 (17)–1.9873 (15) Å]. In addition, the Co—Npy distances are closely related to the magnitudes of the chelate angles, a shorter Co—Npy distance corresponding to a larger angle. Five intermolecular hydrogen bonds, involving carbonyl O atoms of the ligands and lattice water mol­ecules, lead to the formation of a mesh structure.

Comment top

The selective oxidation of hydrocarbons using molecular oxygen as the primary oxidant is an important technology and is an area of continued research and development because of the low cost and environmentally friendly nature of the oxidant (Bolm et al., 1994; Neumann & Dahan, 1998; Brink et al., 2000). Much effort has been made in the past to activate dioxygen by metal complexes (Shilov & Shul'pin, 2000). Ishii et al. (1996) reported a novel catalytic system using N-hydroxyphthalimide combined with Co(acac)n (n = 2 or 3) as catalysts in the oxidation of alkylbenzene; thus ethylbenzene was successfully oxidized to acetophenone in excellent yield. However, this method has a corrosive and environmentally unfriendly nature because of the use of acetic acid as solvent. We recently found in our laboratory that the title complex, (I), is an efficient catalyst for the direct oxidation of ethylbenzene with dioxygen, without the need of any solvent and reducing reagent, giving 86.0% acetophenone selectivity on 65.7% conversion under moderate conditions. This economical and environmentally friendly system shows excellent potential for industrial application. The synthesis and structure of complex (I) are described here.

Complex (I) contains three ligands, coordinated via the pyridine N atom and the negatively charged amide nitrogen ion instead of the neutral amide N atom or the carbonyl O atom. There are two possible geometric isomers for this compound. One is facial, having all three pyridine rings in a cis confromation. The other is meridional, having two of the pyridine rings in trans positions. The crystal structure shows that this complex is the latter isomer; two pyridine rings are mutually trans, two amide groups are mutually trans and one pyridine ring is trans to one amide group. Therefore, various situations exist for competitive trans effects. For each of the three ligands, the Co—py distance [1.9258 (16)–1.9656 (17) Å] is always shorter than the corresponding Co—amide distance [1.9372 (17)–1.9873 (15) Å], while the Co–py distance for one ligand can be longer than the Co—amide distance for another; for instance, the Co—N3 distance [1.9656 (17) Å] is longer than the Co—N6 distance [1.9372 (17) Å]. Moreover, the Co—py distances depend on the size of the chelate angles; the longer the Co–py distance, the smaller the corresponding chelate angle. In (I), the Co—N3 distance is the longest distance and the N3—Co—N4 angle [81.92 (7) °] is the smallest angle. Since the distances of the six coordination bonds are not equal, the complex has the form of a distorted octahedron. The structural features described above have been reported in analogous complexes (Qi et al., 2003).

For every ligand in (I), the pyridine ring and the carbonyl group are nearly coplanar, with C4—C5—C6—O1, C16—C17—C18—O2 and C28—C29—C30—O3 torsion angles of 0.4 (3), 4.8 (3) and 3.2 (3)°, respectively. In addition, the deprotonated amide N atom facilitates the aerobic oxidation of CoII to CoIII during the formation of the complex. The three anionic ligands neutralize the trivalent cationic cobalt.

There are four intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure of (I) (Fig. 1); (i) carbonyl atom O2 of one molecule interacts with the O1W/H11W group of a lattice water molecule, (ii) the O3W/H3WA lattice water group interacts with water atom O1W, (iii) carbonyl atom O1 interacts with the O2W/H21W group of an adjacent water molecule and (iv) carbonyl atom O3 interacts with the O2W/H22W group of another lattice water molecule. Through these intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions, every molecule of (I) is linked to adjacent molecules, thus forming a mesh structure.

Experimental top

The ligand of the complex was synthesized from 2-pyridinecarboxylic acid and 4-fluoroaniline, according a published procedure (Ray et al., 1997). The ligand was dissolved in EtOH under ambient conditions and to it was added cobalt dichloride dissolved in EtOH and 25% NH3. The mixture was stirred magnetically for 0.5 h. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with ethanol and air-dried, yielding a deep-red powder. Single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent from an ethanol–water saturated solution at room temperature.

Refinement top

The C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å, and were thereafter treated as riding. Water H atoms were positioned from difference maps, and their coordinates were refined with the O—H distance constrained (0.8500–0.8501 Å). Uiso(H) values were set at 1.2Ueq of the attached 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.
