Cyclam was prepared according to published methods (Barefield et al., 1976). CoCl2 and NaBPh4 were purchased from Aldrich and used as received. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a solution of cyclam (75 mg, 0.37 mmol) in EtOH (5 ml) was added to a blue solution of CoCl2 (50 mg, 0.37 mmol) in EtOH (20 ml). Addition of a solution of NaBPh4 (253 mg, 0.74 mmol) in EtOH (10 ml) gave an immediate brown precipitate, which analysed as [Co(cyclam)Cl2](BPh4)2 (found: C 72.5, H 6.4, N 6.0%; calculated: C 72.2, H 6.3, N 5.8%), which was collected by filtration, washed with EtOH and Et2O and dried. Orange–brown crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were grown by allowing the vapour of diethyl ether to diffuse into a concentrated acetone solution (in air) over a period of 3 d.
All H atoms were placed in idealized positions and were refined using a riding model (C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å). The anisotropic displacement parameters of the solvent O2 atom are large, suggesting that the atom is disordered over two sites. However, as attempts to model the disorder required severe constraints to yield very little improvement in the structure, this minor artefact was discounted. A view of the body centred array of cation dimers has been deposited.

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. |

Whilst tetraaza macrocyclic ligands have been extensively studied for several decades, their complexes still attract significant attention. This continued interest is due to the wide range of physical and chemical properties exhibited by these materials, one relevant example being the ability to bind dioxygen to CoII or FeII centres (Busch & Alcock, 1994). An extensive series of saturated and unsaturated macrocycles is known, with one of the more widely used ligands being 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, also known as cyclam (McAuley & Subramanian, 2000; Melson, 1979; Donnelly & Zimmer, 1999). As an `innocent' ligand, cyclam is often used to coordinatively saturate the four equatorial sites of an octahedral centre, without influencing the nature of the metal centre. Thus, whilst investigating a series of complexes with axial hydrogen-bonding functionality, the complex [Co(cyclam)Cl2][BPh4]2 was crystallized in air, yielding the oxygenated title compound, [Cl(cyclam)Co(µ2-O2)Co(cyclam)Cl](BPh4)2.2Me2CO, (I). A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Allen & Kennard, 1993) revealed 34 structures containing analogous Co–(µ2-O2)–Co moieties. However, whilst 21 of these structures contain polydentate aminoalkane ligands (for example, ethylenetriamine or ethylenediamine), no saturated macrocyclic complexes have been reported.
The molecular structure of the cobalt complex cation of (I) comprises two octahedral Co(cyclam)Cl moieties bridged by a dioxygen molecule (Fig. 1). The O—O bond straddles a crystallographic centre of inversion, hence only half of the cation, one anion and one solvent molecule are observed in the asymmetric unit.
With redox-active ligands (in this instance O2) bridging two Co atoms, there is some difficulty in assigning formal oxidation states to the metal centres. Thus, the analogous structures in the CSD were examined to aid in the characterization of (I). Of the 21 structures, 12 are assigned CoII–CoII, three CoIII–CoIII, three CoII—CoIII, while three are denoted CoII–CoI. In the structure of (I), either the Co atoms are both in the +3 oxidation state and bridged by a peroxide O22- molecule or there exists a mixed-valence CoII–CoIII system, with the atoms bridged by superoxide O2-. However, the complex is characterized as comprising two peroxo-bridged octahedral CoIII atoms, due to two main features of the molecular structure supporting this assignation. Firstly, the O—O distance of (I) is 1.483 (3) Å, indicating a doubly-bridging peroxo species, [doubly-bridging peroxo complexes typically have O—O separations in the range 1.44–1.49 Å, compared with analogous superoxo values in the range 1.26–1.36 Å (Greenwood & Earnshaw, 1984)]. Secondly, the Co—Cl bond length of 2.2647 (8) Å supports the presence of CoIII over CoII (Orpen, 1989). The Co—O distance of 1.894 (2) Å does not assist this characterization, as the comparable structures in the CSD all have Co—O bond lengths in the range 1.742–1.947 Å. Of these, only one outlying structure {the CoII–CoI species [Co2(en)4(µ2-OH)(µ2-O2)]I3.H2O; CSD refcode BATTAR (Bigoli et al., 1981)]} has a Co—O length below 1.842 Å. Thus, there is no significant correlation between assigned cobalt oxidation states and Co—O bond length.
Interestingly, the O—O—Co angle of 110.2 (2)° in (I) is lower than the value of 120° expected for an sp2-hybridized O atom binding via a lone pair. The reason for this contraction is not readily apparent, especially as the cyclam ligands are well separated (Co—N4 mean planes are ca 4.30 Å apart). However, the geometry of the peroxide coordination here is consistent with the related structures in the CSD, which have O—O—Co values ranging from 109.8° in [Co2(µ2-O2)L2](ClO4)4 [L = N,N',N''-tris(2-aminoethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine; CSD refcode VIRCAA (Gatehouse et al., 1991)] to 120.6° in [Co2(µ2-O2)L2{OC(NMe)2}2] [L = N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato); refcode DOESCF10 (Calligaris et al., 1970)]. Evidently, the nature of this coordination is flexible, with small variations in local geometry permitted.
The Co—N distances of (I) are in the range 1.961 (2)–1.978 (2) Å, with the angles about the cobalt centre close to ideal octahedral values. All intramolecular bond lengths and angles for the tetraphenylborate anion and acetone solvent molecules are as expected.
The crystal lattice of (I) comprises a body-centred array of cations, with the long axis of the dimers aligned parallel to the z axis of the unit cell. The tetraphenylborate anions and acetone solvent molecules pack closely around the cobalt dimers, with no significant anion–anion interactions, and solvent molecules filling small pockets between anions. Each cation is encapsulated by six nearest neighbour [BPh4]- anions, three surrounding each cyclam moiety of the dimer. This close packing results in two C—H···π contacts per cyclam ring from methylene H atoms to the phenyl rings of the anions (Fig. 2). Tetraphenylborate anions have been shown to be better aromatic hydrogen-bond acceptors than phenyl rings in neutral compounds (Steiner et al., 2001), with aromatic hydrogen bonds having typical X···Phcentroid separations in the range 3.2—3.6 Å (where X is the donor atom). The donor atoms from the cyclam ring are C7—H7A and C9—H9B, with C···Phcentroid separations of 3.427 (3) and 3.471 (3) Å, respectively. The C—H···Phcentroid angles are near linear, with H···Phcentroid distances of 2.614 (3) [H(7 A)] and 2.669 (3) Å [H(9B)].
