Crystals of the title compound, [Co(NH3)6][Gd(C6H6NO6)2(H2O)]·8H2O, were synthesized in and collected from aqueous solution. The hexaamminecobalt(III) cation has the expected octahedral geometry, while the Gd coordination sphere has the geometry of a tricapped trigonal prism, with the two nitrilo­tri­acetate N atoms and one water mol­ecule occupying the capping positions.

Comment top

Gadolinium complexes have found widespread use as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with an estimate of over 30 tonnes of Gd having been administered since the first commercial Gd contrast agent was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in humans in 1988 (Caravan et al., 1999; Lauffer, 1987). Each of these compounds is composed of an octadentate chelating ligand and one coordinating water molecule, forming a nine-coordinate complex. A search of Version 5.22 of the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen & Kennard, 1993) identified only 298 structures of Gd complexes. Our synthesis of Gd-nitrilotriacetate complexes (Gd-NTA) is part of an effort to extend this database, and the structure of the title Gd-NTA complex, (I), is presented here. \sch

A bis(NTA)gadolinate complex with a [Gd(H2O)x]+3 counterion was previously synthesized by Parrish et al. (1998) from a 1:1 mixture of gadolinium chloride and NTA. The compound was found to have a high degree of disorder, in particular in the aqua-Gd cation, as well as either an inconveniently long cell length, c = 80.83 (2) Å, or a twinning problem.

The synthesis of (I) was undertaken in order to try to eliminate some of the problems in the original structure. Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride was used to precipitate the anionic complex, thus eliminating the largest single source of disorder. Orange crystals of (I) formed from an aqueous 2:1 mole ratio mixture of NTA with hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride and an excess of gadolinium(III) chloride (the hygroscopic nature of the starting material precludes exact molar quantification).

Complex (I) (Fig. 1) is nine-coordinate, as are 43% of the previously reported complexes (Allen & Kennard, 1993) and 100% of FDA-approved MRI contrast agents (Caravan et al., 1999). The complex is a tricapped trigonal prism (Fig. 2), as is common for nine-coordinate complexes (Guggenberger & Muetterties, 1976). Bond distances and angles for the coordination sphere of (I) are given in Table 1. An O atom from the coordinated water molecule and the two NTA N atoms occupy the capping positions. Of the eight noncoordinated water molecules, six form one hydrogen bond with carboxyl groups, while the remaining two each form hydrogen bonds with two separate carboxyl groups. The locations of the H atoms of the water molecules were not experimentally observed and were not included. There appeared to be some disorder in the waters of hydration, but it was not possible to separate individual positions within the electron density.

The Co coordination sphere in (I) is octahedral, with Co—N distances in the range 1.962 (6)–1.981 (7) Å, and N—Co—N angles in the range 88.5 (3)–91.5 (3)° for cis N atoms and 178.8 (3)–179.4 (3)° for trans N atoms.

Experimental top

Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride (0.1652 g, 0.6176 mmol), the disodium salt of nitrilotriacetic acid (0.2816 g, 1.198 mmol) and gadolinium(III) chloride (approximately 1 mmol) were dissolved in water (approximately 50 ml; gadolinium chloride is hygroscopic so an excess was used to ensure that NTA was the limiting reagent). The solvent was allowed to evaporate slowly over the course of a week, resulting in the formation of orange plates. A 26.1% yield (0.1338 g) of (I) was recovered from the reaction mixture. Elemental analysis was in agreement with crystallographic data (expected for C12H48CoGdN8O21: C 16.82, H 5.65, N 13.08%; found: C 16.80, H 5.92, N 13.07%). Attempts to determine a melting point failed, as the compound was found to decompose with a visible loss of liquid, presumably water, at approximately 373 K, leaving a red solid residue. The resulting solid was found to have low solubility in water, but was not further characterized.

Refinement top

H atoms were treated as riding, with N—H distances of 0.89 Å and C—H distances of 0.97 Å. Is this added text OK? The highest peak in the difference map is 0.76 Å and the deepest hole 0.63 Å from Gd.

Special details top

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.
