The title complex, [Co(C10H12NO2)2(H2O)2], a neutral mononuclear mol­ecule, consists of a CoII ion, two 5-n-butyl­pyridine-2-carboxyl­ate ligands and two water mol­ecules. The CoII atom, located on a centre of symmetry, displays a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry. Inter­molecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds form a supra­molecular network structure.

Comment top

Some structures of transition metal complexes containing the 5-butyl-pyridyl-2-carboxylic acid (fusaric acid) ligand have been reported. In the structural investigation of these complexes, it has been found that the fusaric acid functions as a multidentate ligand (Okabe, Wada et al., 2002; Okabe, Muranishi et al., 2002), with versatile binding and coordination modes. In this paper, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), a new Co complex obtained by the reaction of fusaric acid with cobalt chloride in aqueous solution.

As illustrated in Fig. 1, the CoII atom, which is a neutral mononuclear molecule, lies on a centre of symmetry and has a distorted octahedral geometry with six coordinating atoms being two carboxyl O and two N atoms from two different fusaric acid ligands and two water molecules (Table 1). The coordinating O and N atoms and CoII atom are coplanar. The structural components are connected through O—H···O hydrogen bonding involving the coordinating water molecules as donors and the carboxyl O atoms as acceptors, forming neutral layers perpendicular to b axis (Fig. 2; Table 2).

Experimental top

The title complex was prepared by the addition of a stoichiometric amount of cobalt chloride (20 mmol) to a hot aqueous solution (25 ml) of 5-butyl-pyridyl-2-carboxylic acid (fusaric acid, 30 mmol). The pH was then adjusted to 7.0–8.0 with NaOH (30 mmol). The resulting solution was filtered, and red crystals were obtained at room temperature on slow evaporation of the solvent over several days.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions and were treated as riding on the parent C atoms with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). Water H atoms were tentatively located in difference Fourier maps and were refined with distance restraints of O–H = 0.82 Å and H···H = 1.29 Å, each within a standard deviation of 0.01 Å; other H-atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(O).

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.
