Diaqua­bis(4-bromo-2-formyl­phenolato-κ² O,O′)cobalt(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Co(C₇H₄BrO₂)₂(H₂O)₂], the Co^II ion, which lies on a crystallographic inversion center, is coordin­ated by four O atoms from two bidentate 4-bromo-2-formyl­phenolate ligands and two O atoms from two water ligands in a slightly distorted octa­hedral environment. In the crystal structure, one-dimensional chains are formed through inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which are further linked into a two-dimensional network through Br⋯Br inter­actions [Br⋯Br = 3.772 (4) Å].

Comment

Halogens have a ubiquitous presence in both inorganic and organic chemistry. Schiff bases of bromo substituents on aromatic groups have aroused increasing interest in recent years because these halogenated compounds are an attractive target for use in supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering wherein the halogen atoms are directly involved in forming intermolecular interactions (Cohen et al., 1964, Zordan et al., 2005; Desiraju, et al. 1989, Zaman et al., 2004; Zhang, et al., 2007, Chen, et al., 2008). The title compound, (I), contains the bromo ligand 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde, with one Br atom accessible at the periphery of each ligand.

In the molecular structure of (I), the Co^II ion is coordinated by four O atoms from two bidentate 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde ligands and two O atoms from two H₂O ligands forming a slightly distorted octahedral geometry (Fig. 1). In the crystal structure, 1-D chains are formed through O–H···O hydrogen bonds (O3···O1ⁱ, 2.842 (4)Å; O3···O2ⁱⁱ, 2.725 (4); symmetry codes: (i)-x, -y-1, -z+1; (ii) x, y-1, z). Each molecule of (I) forms eight hydrogen bonds, four of which are donor hydrogen bonds and four are acceptor hydrogen bonds. The 1-D chains are further linked into a 2-D network via Br1···Br1 interactions. The shortest Br1···Br1 distance is 3.772 Å, (Mathews & Manohar, 1991; Willey et al., 1994) observed between Br1 and Br1ⁱⁱⁱ, Br1 and Br1^iv [symmetry codes: (iii) 1/2-x,-1/2+y,1/2-z; (iv) 1/2-x,1/2+y,1/2-z] .

Experimental

Distilled water (30 ml) containing 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde (0.201 g, 1 mmol) was dropwise added to an aqueous solution containing amino-methanesulfonic acid (0.111 g, 1 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (0.040 g, 1 mmol) with stirred during 10 min. After stirring for 1 h, an aqueous solution of cobalt chloride (0.237 g, 1 mmol) was added to the resulting solution and stirred for 2 h and filtrate. the filtration was left to stand at room temperature. After 12 days, red crystals were produced from the filtrate (yield: 76.4 %, based on Co).

Refinement

H atoms were positioned geometrically and were treated as riding atoms, with C–H distances of 0.93 Å and U_iso(H) = 1.2 U_eq(C), and with and O–H distance of 0.85 Å and U_iso(H) = 1.5 U_eq(O) .

Special details

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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.
