Abstract

In the title compound, [CdCl2(C6H14N2O)2], the Cl and CdII atoms are located on a twofold rotation axis and the CdII atom is octa­hedrally coordinated by two N,N′-bidentate 2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethanamine ligands and two trans-located Cl atoms. In the crystal, adjacent mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional structure. An intra­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond is also observed.

Comment

The title compound was obtained upon complexation of 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine with CdCl2. Similar to what was observed in the other metal complexes of 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine (Chattopadhyay et al., 2005; Laskar et al., 2001), the morpholine ring adopts a chair conformation and the amine acts as an N,N'-bidentate ligand to form a five-membered chelate ring with the metal center. Within the formed chelate ring, the Cd—N distances are considerably different from one another (Table 1). By contrast, the Pt—N bond lenghts in the square-planar complex of PtCl2 with the amine ligand (Shi et al., 2006) are only slightly different [2.018 (6) and 2.075 (5) Å]. The CdII ion, placed on a 2-fold rotation axis, is six-coordinated by two of the amine ligands and two Cl atoms in a distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal structure is consolidated by intermolecular N—H···Cl and C—H···O and also intramolecular C—H···Cl hydrogen bonding interactions (Table 2).

Experimental

A solution of cadmium(II) chloride (0.92 g, 5.0 mmol) in minimum amount of water was added to an ethanolic solution (50 ml) of 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine (1.30 g, 10 mmol). The resulting solution was refluxed for 30 min, then left at room temperature. The crystals of the title complex were obtained in a few days.

Refinement

The C-bound hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions (C—H 0.99 Å) and were treated as riding on their parent atoms. The amine hydrogen atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined with a restrained N—H distance of 0.91 (3) Å. For all hydrogen atoms Uiso(H) were set to 1.2 times Ueq(carrier atom).

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.
