In the cation of the title compound, [Fe(C24H16N6)2][Fe(NCS)4]·CH3OH at 88 (2) K, the two hexa­dentate 2,3,5,6-tetra-2-pyridylpyrazine ligands coordinate to the FeII atom as tridentate ligands to give an octa­hedral mononuclear complex. In the anion, the tetra­hedral FeII ion is coordinated by the N atoms of the four thio­cyanate ions.

Metal complexes are suitable compounds to construct supramolecular compounds because they can have various coordination geometries. In particular, complexes with multi-dentate ligands are interesting from a viewpoint of designing structure, because they can construct coordination polymers (Batten et al., 1995; Fujita et al., 1995). For example, porous compounds that can storage gas molecules are achieved by using metal complexes (Matsuda et al., 2005). Moreover, such supramolecular compounds may be able to obtain more functions resulting from spin state of their central metal ions, for example, spin-crossover phenomenon when the metal ions have dynamic spin state. We focused on iron(II) complexes with terpyridine (= 2,2':6'2''-terpyridine) derivative ligands for the reasons mentioned above (Judge & Baker, 1967; Schmidt et al., 1967) and here we report the synthesis and the crystal structure of the the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1). Compound (I) loses the methanol of solvation immediately on exposure to air, therefore the single-crystal measurement was performed in liquid paraffin.

The ligand tpypz is hexadentate, and there are two terpyridine (tpy) moieties on both sides of the ligand. However, one of tpy doesn't coordinate to the iron(II) ion. As a result, the cation is mononuclear with the iron atom Fe(1) coordinated to two tpypz ligands. The two tridentate ligands in the complex were found to be perpendicular to one another. The bond lengths of Fe(1)—N(tpypz) were assigned to a low-spin state of iron(II) compounds. The distance of Fe(1)—N(1, 7) is shorter than that of Fe(1)—N(3, 6, 9, 12), which exhibits a distorted FeN6 octahedron. The coordinated terpyridine moiety of tpypz is co-planar with, for example, The torsion angle N(1)—C(1)—C(5)—N(3) = -10.83 (15)°. On the other hand, the non-coordinated terpyridine moiety is twisted out of the plane. with, for example, N(4)—C(10)—C(2)—C(1) = -49.97 (17)°.

In the anion, Fe(2) is coordinated to the nitrogen atoms of four thiocyanate ions in tetrahedral geometry. The bond lengths of Fe(2)—N(thiocyanate) were assigned to a high-spin state of iron(II) compounds.

Furthermore, there is intermolecular π-π stacking between the pyridine ring in non-coordinated terpyridine moiety and that in the terpyridine moiety of next complex. The bond length between C(13) and C(34) of the next complex is 3.1 Å.

Experimental top

tpypz α-Pyridoin (20 g) and ammonium acetate (90 g) were mixed in a flask fitted with a reflux in air and slowly teated to 180 °C in an oil bath. The mixture soon became molten and very intense blown-green color developed. After about half an hour, Large white crystals appeared in the melt. The heating was continued for a further 1.5 h, with occasional shaking. The product was washed with alcohol and recrystallized from pyridine. The title complex (I) was prepared by additional of solutions of FeCl2.4H2O (0.20 g, 1 mmol) in methanol and KSCN (0.20 g, 2 mmol) in methanol to a solution of tpypz (0.78 g, 2 mmol) in methanol. Violet single crystals were obtained by diffusion in methanol. Calcd for [Fe(tpypz)2][Fe(NCS)4], C52H34Fe2N16OS4; C, 55.72; H, 2.88; N, 19.99. Found: C, 54.88; H, 2.95; N, 19.70%.

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.
