The square-pyramidal Mg center in the title compound, [Mg(C32H16N8)(CH4O)], is five-coordinate due to the formation of back-to-back [pi]-[pi] dimers that saturate the vacant apical site of the metal coordination sphere. Each complex is a member of a back-to-back and a face-to-face dimer; the latter are tethered by two strong O-H...N hydrogen bonds. The dimers form columns that likely determine the solid-state packing. The phthalocyaninate ligands are essentially planar, with a slight `hat visor' conformation character.

Comment top

For several years we have been interested in the synthesis and structures of metallophthalocyanine complexes. As a broad class of compounds, the metallophthalocyanines exhibit a wide array of optical, electronic, magnetic and chemical/photochemical properties that can be profoundly affected by subtle modifications to their solid-state and/or solution structures (McKeown, 1998, and references therein; Schultz et al., 1990, and references therein; Leznoff & Lever, 1989–1996, and references therein). We have recently broadened our ongoing investigations involving solvothermal (solventothermal) reactions of transition metal starting materials with 1,2-dicyanobenzene, which result in modified metallophthalocyanine derivatives, to include main group metals, in hopes that we may compare and contrast their reactivity. As a part of these efforts, we carried out the reaction of 1,2-dicyanobenzene with magnesium acetate tetrahydrate and found that the title compound, (I), was produced.

Apart from the more subtle aspects of the structure of (I) discussed later in this paper, it is interesting from a chemical standpoint that the compound possesses a (flat) unsubstituted phthalocyaninate (Pc) ligand, in contrast to the saddle-shaped alkoxy-modified Pc moieties observed in complexes that form in similar reactions involving NiII that we have reported elsewhere, even as the reaction and crystallization conditions were essentially identical (Molek et al., 2001).

Methanol(phthalocyaninato)magnesium(II) (Fig. 1) is one of the five crystallographically characterized complexes in which the magnesium center is bound to a κ4N4-type ligand with a delocalized π system and one or two alcohol ligands, and the first example of such a complex with a Pc ligand.

The only other structurally characterized complex with five-coordinate magnesium is 2-propanol(tetraphenylporphinato)magnesium, (II) (Byrn et al., 1993), which crystallizes as a 2-propanol clathrate. Unfortunately, the position of the hydroxy H atom of the ligated propanol is chemically unreasonable, as reported to the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Version 5.26, updated May 2005; Allen, 2002) and confirmed by the authors; hence, in the following discussion, we will ignore this error. The Mg—O and Mg—N bond lengths in (I) [2.0331 (14) and average 2.0336 (17) Å, respectively] are appreciably shorter than the corresponding distances in (II) [2.076 and average 2.087 (5) Å, respectively], but all values are in the typical range. In the three relevant octahedral Mg complexes with κ4N4 ligands and two identical alcohols in the apical positions, viz. dimethanol(tetraphenylporphinato)magnesium(II), (III), dimethanol(tetraphenylporphinato)magnesium(II) acetone solvate, (IV) (both by McKee and Rodley, 1988), and bis(2-methoxyethanol-O)(phthalocyaninato)magnesium(II), (V) (Matsumoto et al., 2000), all Mg—O distances are substantially longer at 2.220, 2.187 and 2.245 Å, respectively. The Mg—N distances would be expected to be shorter since the Mg atom resides in the plane of the four ligating N atoms, but the shortening is not observed in the cases of (III) (2.069 Å) and (IV) (2.075 Å). However, in the case of the Pc ligand in (V), the two symmetry independent Mg—N distances average 2.002 (14) Å.

There are many examples of radical and non-radical five-coordinate Mg complexes with large porphinate-like κ4N4 ligands, but in most cases the ligand in the apical position is water and we will not discuss compounds with aqua ligands here. The non-radical compounds include Mg(Pc)(Ph3PO), Mg(Pc)(Ph3PO)·CH2Cl2, Mg(Pc)(Ph3PO).pyridine, Mg(Pc)(Ph3P=O).tetrahydrofuran (all four by Huckstadt et al., 2000), cis-[2,3,7,8-tetrakis(N,N-dimethylamino)- 12,13:17,18-dibenzoporphyrazinato-N,N',N'',N'''](dimethylsulfoxide-O)magnesium(II), and [2,3-bis(N,N-dimethylamino)norphthalocyaninate-N,N',N'',N''')(dimethylsulfoxide-O)magnesium(II) (both by Montalban et al., 2000). In all of these structures the metal center is essentially square pyramidal with Mg—O and Mg—N distances comparable to those in (I).

Several aspects of the solid-state geometry of (I) are noteworthy. One aspect is the absence of a second alcohol molecule in the sixth coordination position about the Mg center, the second is the mutual arrangement of molecules of (I) in the lattice, and the third is the conformation of the Pc ring.

The Mg center in (I) is square pyramidal with a very slightly distorted C4v symmetry (Fig. 1). The Mg—N distances differ by less than 0.0037 Å, the Mg—O vector forms an 89.5 (2)° angle to the plane defined by atoms N1, N3, N5 and N7, and the Mg atom is displaced toward the O atom from this plane by 0.4369 (10) Å. Four equatorial coordination sites about the central metal are occupied by the Pc ligand, which shields 65.07 (2)% of the Mg coordination sphere (Solid-G; Guzei & Wendt, 2004). The MeOH ligand shields an additional 16.80 (2)% and thus there is room [18.14 (2)%] to accommodate an additional ligand (Fig. 2). Our density functional theory computations at the pbe1pbe/6–31+G* level of theory (GAUSSIAN03; Frisch et al., 2004) on a simplified Mg complex (VI) (Fig. 3) indicate that a reaction between (VI) and MeOH is favored by −16.78 kcal mol−1, while coordinating the second methanol is favored by a considerably smaller −3.25 kcal mol−1. Apparently, there are two ways of saturating the magnesium coordination sphere, viz. (1) introduction of another ligand with a solid angle less than 0.8π (or shielding percentage of ~20%), and (2) mutual back-to-back arrangement of molecules of (I) in the lattice in order to compensate for the small `sixth ligand' coordination energy by forming favorable van der Waals interactions between the π systems of the Pc ligands (see below). A review of relevant structures reported to the CSD reveals that in the magnesium complexes with a large κ4N4 ligand the five-coordinate complexes outnumber six-coordinate systems at a ~2:1 ratio. This may be an indication that expansive van der Waals contacts between large planar ligands are more favorable than saturating the metal coordination sphere with a lone ligand.

The overlap of the Pc ligands in the back-to-back ππ dimers of (I) is a characteristic of this structure type (Fig. 4). Scheidt & Lee (1987) examined the overlap in all neutral structurally characterized sterically unhindered metal porphinate complexes and discovered that the distribution of the lateral shift of the ligands is trimodal rather than continuous. The values seemed to cluster at ~1.5 Å for dimers with strong overlaps, at ~3.5 Å with intermediate overlaps and at ~6.5 Å with weak overlaps. The Pc ligands in the ππ dimers of (I) are laterally offset by 1.612 (2) Å, which according to the above classification represents a strong overlap between the ligand π systems. The mean interplanar separation between the dimer 40-atom rings, 3.33 (4) Å, is approximately half way between the sum of the C-atom van der Waals radii (3.650 Å) and the distance at which the steric interaction becomes predominantly repulsive (3.078 Å). Thus, a degree of ππ stabilization in (I) is evident and plays a role in the molecular packing pattern.

While the formation of back-to-back dimers explains the five-coordinate nature of the Mg center, bonding in the face-to-face dimers deserves separate scrutiny. (−x, 1 − y, 1 − z)-Centrosymmetrically related molecules of (I) form strongly bonded face-to-face dimers in which molecules are held together by two identical hydrogen-bonding interactions between the hydroxyl group and an `outer' N atom of the Pc ring, viz. O1—H1···N6 with an O1···N6 separation of 2.698 (2) Å and an O1—H1···N6 angle of 177 (2)°. The 6.030 (2) Å offset between the participating molecules allows for energetically favorable molecular arrangement. Because of the significant lateral displacement, only half of the Pc ligand including atoms C17—C32 overlaps with the other Pc ligand, but the π systems are in very close proximity [3.32 (4) Å]. Thus, each molecule of (I) is a member of a strongly hydrogen-bonded cofacial dimer and a ππ back-to-back dimer that form columns in the lattice (Fig. 4). The mutual arrangement of the dimers is likely to govern the solid-state packing pattern rather than vice versa. It is also possible that there are weaker hydrogen-bonding interactions of the C—H···π type between dimer columns related by a crystallographic c-glide plane, but our examination shows that they must be very weak and it is not clear how much they affect the crystal structure of (I).

A useful way of describing the conformation of the Pc ligand is by looking at the signs of the net r.m.s. displacements of the four quadrants of the ligand (e.g. Ph rings) from the plane of the four ligating N atoms. To each quadrant either a `+' or a `-' is assigned. A dome or concave conformation is characterized by a `+ + + +' combination of the four signs (C4v symmetry), a `+ + - -' sequence yields a waving conformation (C2h), a `+ - + -' arrangement is a saddle conformation (D2d), and a `+ + + -' series is a `hat visor' conformation (Cs). Of course, the planar Pc ligand complies with the D4h symmetry and in chemical praxis numerous examples of deviations from the idealized geometries are expected. Huckstadt et al. (2000) studied the conformation of the Pc ring in several aforementioned Mg complexes and concluded that the ring has a `concave' (+ + + + in our classification) conformation when the ring overlap within back-to-back ππ dimers in monoclinic systems is weak, and a `waving' (+ + - -) conformation when the overlap is good in triclinic systems. The r.m.s. deviation of atoms from the 40-atom π system in (I) is 0.036 Å, and thus the ruffling of the system is slight. On the other hand, the analysis of atomic displacements from the plane defined by atoms N1, N3, N5 and N7 indicates that the ligand conformation in (I) is closer to the `hat visor' (+ + + -) symmetry (Fig. 5). The crystal system of (I) is monoclinic and the ligand overlap is strong, which makes us conclude that the crystal system is inconsequential for ligand conformation. Additionally, the `hat visor' geometry of the Pc moiety in (I) with good overlap contrasts with the findings of Huckstadt et al. (2000). Perhaps the scarcity of five-coordinate Mg complexes with Pc ligands does not currently allow for reliable generalizations in this area.

Experimental top

All reagents were obtained from commercial sources and used as received. Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate (41.5 mg, 0.194 mmol) and 1,2-dicyanobenzene (99.3 mg, 0.775 mmol) were combined with methanol (4 ml) in a PTFE-lined autoclave and heated at 343 K for one week. Thin purple needles of (I) were observed upon opening the autoclave.

Refinement top

All H atoms bound to C atoms were placed in idealized locations and refined as riding with C—H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic C atoms, and C—H = 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups. Atom H1 attached to atom O was refined with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O); the O—H1 distance was allowed to refine.

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.
