The structure of the title compound, [Co(C4H4N­OS2)2(CH4O)2], has been determined at 180 (2) K. The mol­ecule possesses \overline 1 point symmetry with the CoII atom adopting a Jahn–Teller-distorted octahedral geometry. The mol­ecules are linked into chains by O—H...O hydrogen-bond interactions involving the H atom of the coordinated methanol mol­ecules.

Comment top

Cyclic thiohydroxamic acids, such as 1-hydroxypyridine-2(1H)-thione (pyrithione, HPT), find extensive use as fungicides (Paulus, 1993). It has been suggested that their mode of action is based predominantly on chelate complex formation (Albert, 1973). 3-Hydroxy-4-methylthiazole-2(3H)-thione (methylthiazolethione, HMTT) contains a chelating unit similar to that in pyrithione and might, therefore, be expected to exhibit similar antimicrobial properties. We are currently studying the solid-state chemistry of cyclic thiohydroxamic acids (Bond & Jones, 2000) and their complexes with first-row d-block elements, and report here the crystal structure of the chelate complex Co(MTT)2(methanol)2, (I) (Fig. 1).

In (I), the Co1 atom occupies a centre of symmetry and adopts octahedral coordination via two bidentate MTT ligands and two methanol molecules. The Co1—S1 distance [2.4590 (7) Å] is significantly greater than the Co—S distances in comparable complexes [see, for example, Kang et al. (1993); Co—Save = 2.377 (5) Å]; this may be attributed to a tetragonal Jahn–Teller distortion about the CoII atom (d7). The C1—S1 and N1—O1 bond distances [1.699 (3) Å and 1.352 (3) Å, respectively] suggest that these bonds retain some multiple-bond character [cf. C—Save = 1.773 (9) Å and N—Oave = 1.396 (12) Å; Alen et al., 1987].

The H atom of the coordinated methanol molecule is involved in a hydrogen-bond interaction with the O atom of an MTT ligand in an adjacent molecule [H1···O1i = 1.96 (4) Å, O2—H1···O1i = 171 (4)°; symmetry code: (i) 1 - x, 1 - y, -z], giving rise to extended chains running parallel to the a direction (Fig. 2). These chains pack in a herring-bone-type arrangement (Fig. 3). The vinylic H2 atom may be expected to be sufficiently acidic to become involved in a hydrogen-bond interaction. H2 makes its closest approach to an S atom in an MTT molecule of an adjacent chain [H2···S1ii = 2.82 Å and C2—H2···S1ii = 163.3°; symmetry code: (ii) 1 + x, 1/2 - y, 1/2 + z]. The approximate linear geometry of this interaction may be indicative of a C—H···S-type hydrogen bond.

Experimental top

HMTT was obtained from the Aldrich Chemical Co. and was recrystallized from CH2Cl2. The sodium salt hydrate Na(MTT).xH2O was prepared by addition of 1 mol equivalent of NaOH to a suspension of HMTT in water, followed by evaporation of the solvent. The cobalt(II) complex was prepared initially as a monohydrate Co(MTT)2·H2O by combination of aqueous solutions of CoCl2 and Na(MTT) in a 1:2 molar ratio at room temperature. The resulting pink precipitate was removed by filtration under gravity and dried in air at room temperature. Single crystals of (I) were grown by slow evaporation of a solution of Co(MTT)2·H2O in methanol at room temperature.

Refinement top

All H atoms except H1 were placed geometrically and allowed to ride during subsequent refinement. H1 was located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely with an isotropic displacement parameter.

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.
