The title compound, (C4H12N2)[Co(H2O)6][Co(C7H3O4)2]2·8H2O, was obtained by the reaction of cobalt(II) nitrate hexa­hydrate with the proton-transfer compound piperazinediium pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl­ate or (pipzH2)(pydc) (where pipz is piperazine and pydcH2 is pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid) in aqueous solution. The anionic complex, [Co(pydc)2]2−, features six-coordinate CoII with a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The structure also contains hexa­aqua­cobalt(II) cations (site symmetry \overline{1}), and piperazinium (site symmetry \overline{1}) as counter-ions and eight uncoordinated water mol­ecules. The torsion angles indicate that the (pydc)2− units are almost perpendicular to each other. In the crystal structure, extensive O—H...O, N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, as well as ion pairing and distances for π–π interactions between anion fragments, play an important role in stabilizing the structure.

Comment top

Non-covalent interactions including hydrogen bonds are of great importance in stabilizing the structures of different compounds in solid state. We have so far synthesized several proton transfer compounds (Aghabozorg et al., 2006b; Manteghi et al., 2007) and their metal-organic complexes (Aghabozorg et al., 2006c; Aghabozorg et al., 2006 d; Aghabozorg et al., 2006 e; Aghabozorg et al., 2007). A wide range of various hydrogen bonds was observed in these compounds and water molecules were involved in hydrogen bonding formation of some of these structures.

Here, we report on the synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of the title compound, (I). The molecular structure of the compound (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The intermolecular hydrogen bond distances are listed in Table 1. This compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P 1 with one formula in the unit cell. The most important feature of the title compound is the formation of both anionic [Co(pydc)2]2- and cationic [Co(H2O)6]2+ complexes (site symmetry 1), and (pipzH2)2+ ion (site symmetry 1), simultaneously. In the anionic complex, [Co(pydc)2]2-, the metal ion is hexacoordinated by two nitrogen atoms N1, and N2 and four oxygen atoms O2, O3, O6 and O7 of carboxylate groups of two (pydc)2- fragments which act as tridentate ligands. N1 and N2 atoms of the two (pydc)2- fragments occupy the axial positions, while oxygen atoms form the equatorial plane. The N1—Co2—N2 angle revealed with a 14.88° deviation from linearity.

The mean Co—N and Co—O bond lengths for Co2 are 2.0147 (18) and 2.1575 (17) Å, respectively and are consistent with the corresponding data reported in the literature (Aghabozorg et al., 2006a). According to bond lengths, bond and torsion angles, arrangement of the six donor atoms around Co2 is distorted octahedral.

The dihedral angel between the two planes of Co2N2O6 and N2Co2O2 [86.81 (9)°] indicate that two dianionic (pydc)2- units are almost perpendicular to each other.

In the cationic complex, [Co(H2O)6]2+, the metal ion is hexacoordinated by six oxygen atoms of water molecules with a nearly octahedral geometry around the central atom. The extensive O—H···O, N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds between [Co(H2O)6]2+, [Co(pydc)2]2-, (pipzH2)2+ and uncoordinated water molecules play an important role in stabilizing and architecture of the crystal (Table 1). The intermolecular forces in this compound consist of hydrogen bonding and ion pairing as well as π-π stacking between anion-anion fragments (3.5277 (15) Å -x, -y + 2, -z + 1) (Fig. 2) (Aghabozorg, et al., 2006f). These interactions result in the formation of a supramolecular structure based on a hydrogen-bonded network.

Experimental top

The proton transfer compound, (pipzH2)(pydc), was prepared by the reaction of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, pydcH2, with piperazine, (pipz). The reaction between Co(NO3)2·6H2O (143 mg, 0.5 mmol) in water (25 ml) and the proton transfer compound, (pipzH2)(pydc) (253 mg, 1.0 mmol) in water (25 ml), in a 1:2 molar ratio was carried out and a purple crystalline compound was obtained by the slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and refined with a riding model (including torsional freedom for methyl groups), with C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å, and with U(H) constrained to be 1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups) times Ueq of the carrier atom.

We have so far synthesized several proton transfer compounds (Aghabozorg et al., 2006b; Manteghi et al., 2007) and their metal-organic complexes (Aghabozorg et al., 2006c; Aghabozorg et al., 2006 d; Aghabozorg et al., 2006 e; Aghabozorg et al., 2007).

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.
