The title octahedral complexes, [bis(pyridine-2-carbonyl)­amin­ate]­di­chloro­(methanol)­iron(III), [Fe(C12H8N3O2)­Cl2-(CH4O)], and [bis­(pyri­dine-2-carbonyl)­amin­ate]­di­chloro-(ethanol)­iron(III), [Fe­(C12H8N3O2)Cl2(C2H6O)], both crystallize in space group P\overline 1 and have similar structures. Mono­anionic bpca- [bis(pyridine-2-carbonyl)­amin­ate] acts as a planar tridentate ligand in both cases. Coordination bond distances are in the range typical of high-spin FeIII complexes. Carbon-oxygen distances are typical of a C=O double bond suggesting the negative charge of the bpca- ligand is localized on the central N atom.

Comment top

It is known that bpca [bis(pyridine-2-carbonyl)aminate], formed upon deprotonation of Hbpca, acts as a tridentate N-donor rigid ligand and coordinates to transition metal ions such as FeII and FeIII (Wocadlo et al., 1993), MnII (Marcos et al., 1990), CuII and ZnII (Marcos et al., 1989), and RhIII (Paul et al., 1998). The resulting [M(bpca)2]n+ complex cation contains two sets of free β-diketone groups which can coordinate to other metal ions in a chelating mode. We demonstrated that this type of complex acts as a bridging complex ligand to give multi-metal-centered complexes (Kajiwara et al., 1998). With CuII and FeIII ions, this ligand also forms other types of complexes formulated as [Cu(bpca)X(H2O)n] (Folgado et al., 1988, 1989) and [Fe(bpca)Cl2(H2O)] (Wocadlo et al., 1993). The latter contains high-spin FeIII, whereas the FeIII ions in [Fe(bpca)2]X are in a low-spin or medium-spin state depending on X. Such high-spin complexes can be excellent complexing ligands in the construction of multi-metal complexes with a large high-spin ground state. We report here two novel FeIII complexes, namely [bis(pyridine-2-carbonyl)aminate]dichloro(methanol)iron(III), (I), and [bis(pyridine-2-carbonyl)aminate]dichloro(ethanol)iron(III), (II), which are promising high-spin complexing ligands.

The reaction of Hbpca in nitromethane with FeCl3 in methanol or ethanol affords yellow crystals of (I) and (II), respectively. The molecular structures of (I) and (II) are very similar to each other except for the coordinating alcohol molecules. The hexacoordination of the FeIII ion in each compound is achieved by three N atoms from the planar bpca ligand, two Cl ligands cis to each other and the O atom of the alcohol. Iron–ligand distances are all in the range expected for high-spin FeIII complexes (Wocadlo et al., 1993). The O3–Fe–L angles (L = N1, N2 and N3) are significantly smaller than 90°. Atoms N1, N2, N3 and Cl1 are practically coplanar, and the Fe atom deviates by 0.203 (1) and 0.1979 (7) Å from their best mean planes in (I) and (II), respectively. The CO distances [1.223 (3) and 1.218 (3) Å in (I), and 1.222 (2) and 1.214 (2) Å in (II)] are in the usual range for a CO double bond (Etter et al., 1991), suggesting that the negative charge of bpca is localized mainly on the amide N atom of the O—C—N—C—O moiety.

Experimental top

Solutions of Hbpca (113 mg, 0.5 mmol) in nitromethane (5 ml) and FeCl3 (81 mg, 0.05 mmol) in methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol (5 ml) were mixed with stirring. From the resulting yellow–orange solutions, yellow compounds crystallized after a few days.

Refinement top

H atoms were refined and the resulting O—H and C—H dimensions are (I) O—H 0.69 (4) and C—H 0.90 (3)–1.02 (4) Å; (II) O—H 0.69 (2) and C—H 0.84 (2)–1.16 (4) Å.

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.
