Diaqua­bis[5-(2-pyridylmeth­yl)tetra­zolato-κ² N ¹,N ⁵]manganese(II)

Abstract

The title complex, [Mn(C₇H₆N₅)₂(H₂O)₂], was obtained by the in situ hydro­thermal reaction of MnCl₂ with 2-(2-pyrid­yl)acetonitrile in the presence of NaN₃. The Mn^II atom, which is located on an inversion centre, has a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry formed by two water mol­ecules and two chelating ligands. Inter­molecular hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions (3.452 Å) stabilize the crystal structure and lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network.

Comment

Since Sharpless et al. reported the environmentally friendly process for the preparation of tetrazole (Demko & Sharpless, 2001), many novel tetrazole compounds have been reported through 2 + 3 cycloaddition reactions. Work in our group have found that single crystals of coordination polymers can often be generated under hydrothermal conditions through in situ synthesis. (Zhao et al., 2008) The title complex was obtained by the in situ hydrothermal reaction of MnCl₂ with pyridin-2-yl-acetonitrile in the presence of NaN₃.

In the title compound, the central Mn(II) ion is located on an inversion center and coordinated by two water molecules and two 5-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)tetrazolate ligands through the pyridine N and tetrazole N atoms with a distorted octahedral geometry (Fig. 1). Extensive intermolecular O—H···N and C—H···N hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions stabilize the crystal structure which leads to the formation of a three-dimensional network.

Experimental

A mixture of pyridin-2-yl-acetonitrile (26 mg, 0.2 mmol), NaN₃ (26 mg, 0.4 mmol), MnCl₂.4H₂O(59.3 mg, 0.3 mmol), ethanol (1 ml) and a few drops of water sealed in a glass tube was maintained at 105°C. Colorless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained after a week.

Refinement

The C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93 Å) and treated in the subsequent refinement as riding atoms, with U_iso(H) = 1.2U_eq(C) while the water H atoms were located in Fourier difference map and refined with U_iso(H) = 1.5U_eq(O).

Special details

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.
