The title compound, (C19H15N4)2[CdCl4], a salt comprising two 2,3,5-triphenyl-substituted tetra­zolium cations and a tetra­chloridocadmate(II) anion, was synthesized by hydro­thermal methods. In the anion, the CdII ion is tetra­hedrally coordinated by four chloride anions. In the crystal structure, four cations and two anions pack into inversion-related subunits linked by C—H...Cl and offset π-stacking inter­actions. Each of these subunits is surrounded by six others. Intermolecular π–π stacking interactions between phenyl rings are observed along the a axis, with perpendicular distances between the ring planes of 3.6015 and 3.6934 Å.

Tetrazole derivatives are frequently used as colour indicators for the detection of enzyme systems in which reduction equivalents are formed. Due to this feature, they are extremely useful tools in academic and clinical research as well as for many diagnostic applications (Benon et al., 1980). The tetrazole derivatives most used in biochemistry and cell biology are aromatic derivatives of 1,2,3,4-tetrazole (substitution at positions 2, 3, and 5). So far 2, 3, 5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium salts have received a great deal of attention (Předota et al., 1991). Here we report the crystal structure of the title compound a 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium salt.

The title compound (C19H15N4)2.(CdCl4), a salt comprising two 2,3,5-triphenylsubstituted tetrazolium cations and a tetrachloridocadmate anion (Fig. 1) was synthesized by hydrothermal methods. Bond lengths and angles in the tetrazole unit, Table 1, are in good agreement with those reported previously (Morsy et al., 2007). In the [(CdCl4)2-] anion, the Cd (II) ion is tetra-coordinated by four chloride atoms, with the bond lengths from 2.4451 (6) to 2.4800 (6) Å and bond angles from 105.507 (18) to 117.232 (16) °.

Four cations and two anions pack into inversion related sub-units linked by C–H···Cl and offset π-stacking interactions, Fig. 2. Each of these sub-units is surrounded by six others, Figure 3. Intermolecular π-π stacking interactions between the C4 and C10 pyridyl rings (symmetry operation 1 + x, 1/2 - y, 1/2 + z) are observed along the a axis, with a perpendicular distance between the ring planes of 3.6015 Å. Further π-π stacking interactions between the C8-pyridyl ring and its symmetry partner at (1 - x,1 - y,1 - z) are also observed along the a axis, with a perpendicular distance between the ring planes of 3.6934 Å.

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized by a hydrothermal method. A mixture of 2,3,5-triphenyl-2 h-tetrazolium chloride (0.25 g), CdCl2.2.5H2O(0.144 g, 0.50 mmol), and H2O (10 mL) was mechanically stirred at room temperature in air reaching a final pH of 5.0. The solution was then transferred to and sealed in a 37.5 mL Teflon-lined reactor which was heated at 443 K for 4 days. Then the reactor was opened to the air and after cooling to room temperature, colorless block-like crystals were isolated from the resulting mixture.

Refinement top

All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.93 Å, Uiso=1.2Ueq (C).

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.
