The title mol­ecular complex, [CoCl2(C22H18N6O)], features a novel 18-membered Co-containing metallocycle. The CoII atom lies in a fairly regular tetra­hedral geometry defined by two imidazole N-atom donors from one 2,5-bis­[3-(1H-1,3-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L) ligand and two chloride anions. The coordinating orientation of the L ligand plays an important role in constructing the metallocycle complex. The complexes form a three-dimensional supra­molecular assembly via nonclassical C-H...Cl and C-H...N hydrogen bonds and [pi]-[pi] inter­actions.

Comment top

Supramolecular compounds are currently an active field of chemistry due to their novel structural topologies and potential applications in gas storage (Yaghi et al., 2003; Rowsell & Yaghi, 2005) and their magnetic (Zhao et al., 2003; Wang et al., 2006; Neville et al., 2008), catalytic (Wu & Lin, 2007) and optical properties (Wang et al., 2007; Huang et al., 2007). Recently, many high-dimensional supramolecular networks, extended from low-dimensional metal-containing molecules through hydrogen bonds, have been achieved by carefully selecting as building blocks organic ligands containing appropriate functional groups (Yaghi et al., 1998; Cho et al., 2006; Ma & Lin, 2008; Cheng et al., 2001; Choi et al., 1999; Choi & Suh, 1999). However, other superamolecular interactions, such as ππ stacking and non-classical hydrogen bonds, have been somewhat less well documented. Recently, Nichol & Clegg (2006) reported a series of structures of organic complexes formed by weak intermolecular interactions (C—H···X hydrogen bonding and ππ stacking) between acid and base when classical hydrogen bonding is not possible.

In metal–organic frameworks, the geometry of the organic ligands is one of the most important factors in determining the structure of the framework. Recently, our group reported a study of the MII (M = Cu, Cd, Mn and Co) coordination chemistry of 2,5-bis(3-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ylmethyl)phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L2; Zhao et al., 2009). In that study, the divergent arrangement of L2 favours the formation of discrete bird-like spiro-metallocyclic complexes. In order to investigate further how the coordinating orientations of related organic ligands affect the structures of supramolecular complexes, we synthesized the ligand L, 2,5-bis(3-(1H-1,3-imidazole-1-ylmethyl)phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, and its complex, (I), with cobalt(II), the structure of which we report here.

Compound (I) crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system (space group P1) with two CoLCl2 molecules per unit cell and one in the asymmetric unit (Z = 2). The CoII atom is coordinated to two imidazole N-donors from one chelating L ligand and two Cl- anions in a tetrahedral geometry (Fig. 1, Table 1). The two phenyl rings and central oxadiazole ring of L are almost coplanar and the two terminal triazole rings are nearly perpendicular to the Ph-Ox-Ph unit, with dihedral angles of 90.0 (2) and 80.6 (2)°, respectively. The two flexible imidazolemethylene arms of each L ligand are bent markedly inwards and converge at the CoII centre to form a metallocycle consisting of 18 atoms. The distances across the ring are Co1···O1 = 6.287 (21) Å and C19···C4 = 8.239 (31) Å. The coordination behaviour of the imidazole ligand L is similar to that of the related triazole ligand L2 (Zhao et al., 2009), which is also coordinated to a single metal centre to form a large ring with corresponding dimensions of ca 6.6 and 8.3 Å, respectively. Therefore, the minor change in the central five-membered ring results in very little change in the coordinating orientation of the ligands; both are ideally oriented to form large metallocycles.

The complexes assemble into a three-dimensional supramolecular network through non-classical C—H···Cl and C—H···N hydrogen bonds and ππ interactions. Two hydrogen bonds, C19—H19B···Cl1i and C6—H6···Cl1ii [symmetry codes: (i) -x, -y + 2, -z + 1; (ii) -x + 1, -y + 2, -z], link the discrete molecules into one-dimensional chains along the crystallographic c axis (Fig. 2). These parallel chains extend into a two-dimensional sheet in the ac plane via hydrogen bond C22—H22···Cl2iii [symmetry code: (iii) x + 1, y, z]. Thallapally et al. (2007) defined a C—H···Cl contact as short, medium or long using the criteria H···Cl < 2.6 Å, 2.6–3.0 Å and > 3.0 Å, respectively. The H···Cl distances in (I) (Table 2) belong to the intermediate class of contact. The packing within the layers is also reinforced by ππ interactions between parallel imidazole rings, with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.308 (4) and 3.530 (6) Å.

The two-dimensional sheets are connected to each other along the b axis via C—H···N hydrogen bonds (Fig. 3). The C—H···N contacts and C—H···N angles (Table 2) are within typically observed ranges (Alshahateet et al., 2004). The Ph-Ox-Ph ring systems protrude from either side of the layers and interleave in a parallel fashion, with centroid-to-centroid contacts of 3.314 (65) and 3.401 (49) Å.

In summary, a three-dimensional supramolecular compound driven by C—H···Cl and C—H···N hydrogen bonds has been successfully synthesized from an 18-membered Co-containing metallocyclic complex. This study demonstrates that non-classical classical hydrogen bonds play an important role in constructing high-dimensional supramolecular compounds, which may provide a new method for constructing novel functional materials.

Experimental top

KOH (2.80 g, 50 mmol) was added with stirring to a solution of bis(3-bromomethylphenyl)oxadiazole (2.04 g, 5 mmol) and imidazole (0.69 g, 10 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (THF; 50 ml) at ambient temperature. The mixture was stirred for 12 h at ambient temperature (monitored by thin-layer chromatography). After removal of the solvent under vacuum, the residue was purified on silica gel by column chromatography using THF as eluent to afford L as a yellow solid (0.87 g, 2.27 mmol; yield 45%).

A solution of CoCl2.2H2O (5.47 mg, 0.023 mmol) in CH3OH (5 ml) was layered onto a solution of L (8.3 mg, 0.022 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (8 ml). The system was left for about two weeks at room temperature and blue crystals of (I) were obtained (yield 8.33 mg, 74%). Spectroscopic analysis: IR (KBr pellet, ν, cm-1): 3109 (m), 1548 (m), 1522 (m), 1490 (w), 1429 (vs), 1327 (m), 1097 (w), 1069 (s), 952 (w), 803 (w), 763 (m), 723 (vs), 684 (w), 658 (m), 631 (w).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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.
