Crystal structure of trans-(1,8-dibutyl-1,3,6,8,10,13-hexa­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane-κ⁴ N ³,N ⁶,N ¹⁰,N ¹³)bis­(thio­cyanato-κN)nickel(II) from synchrotron data

The Ni^II atom in the title compound, bonded to four N atoms of the aza­macrocylic ligand and two N atoms of the thio­cyanate ions, shows a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b-axis direction.

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(NCS)₂(C₁₆H₃₈N₆)], has been determined from synchrotron data. The asymmetric unit consists of two halves of the complex mol­ecules which have their Ni^II atoms located on inversion centres. The Ni^II ions show a tetra­gonally distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry, with four secondary amine N atoms of the aza­macrocyclic ligand in the equatorial plane and two N atoms of the thio­cyanate anions in the axial positions. The average equatorial Ni—N bond length [2.070 (5) Å] is shorter than the average axial Ni—N bond length [2.107 (18) Å]. Only half of the macrocyclic ligand N—H groups are involved in hydrogen bonding. The complex mol­ecules are connected via inter­molecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds into two symmetry-independent one-dimensional polymeric structures extending along the b-axis direction. One of the n-butyl substituents of the macrocycle exhibits conformational disorder with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.630:0.370.

Chemical context  

Coordination compounds, including those formed by macrocyclic ligands, have attracted wide inter­est of material sciences, because of their potential applications (Lehn, 1995 ▸; Zhou et al., 2012 ▸). In particular, Ni^II macrocyclic complexes having vacant sites in the axial positions have been used for the synthesis of new supra­molecular materials with inter­esting properties, including chiral recognition (Ryoo et al., 2010 ▸) and gas storage (Suh et al., 2012 ▸). For example, Ni^II complexes with alkyl-substituted tetra-aza­macrocyclic ligands and anionic tetra­zole derivatives, metal cyanide and azide (Shen et al., 2012 ▸; Kim et al., 2015 ▸) have been studied as magnetic materials and substrates for crystal engineering. The thio­cyanate ion is a versatile anionic ligand which can easily bind to a transition metal ion as a terminal or bridging ligand through the nitro­gen and/or the sulfur atoms, thus allowing the assembly of multi-dimensional compounds or heterometallic complexes (Safarifard & Morsali, 2012 ▸; Wang & Wang, 2015 ▸). Here, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of an Ni^II complex with an aza­macrocycle ligand and two thio­cyanate anions, trans-(1,8-dibutyl-1,3,6,8,10,13-hexa­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane-κ⁴N ³ ,N ⁶ ,N ¹⁰ ,N ¹³)bis(thio­cyanato-κN)nickel(II) (I).

Structural commentary  

The title compound (I) contains two crystallographically independent complex mol­ecules that are centrosymmetric. Each Ni^II ion lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by four secondary amine N atoms of the aza­macrocyclic ligand in a square-planar fashion in the equatorial plane, and by two N atoms from the thio­cyanate anions at the axial positions, resulting in a tetra­gonally distorted octa­hedral geometry, as shown in Fig. 1 ▸. The average equatorial bond lengths, Ni1A—N_eq and Ni1B—N_eq, are 2.070 (8) and 2.070 (3) Å, respectively. The axial bond lengths, Ni1A—N_ax and Ni1B—N_ax are 2.119 (1) and 2.093 (1) Å, respectively. The axial bonds are longer than the equatorial bonds, which can be attributed either to a large Jahn–Teller distortion effect of the Ni^II ion and/or to a ring contraction of the aza­macrocyclic ligand (Halcrow, 2013 ▸; Kim et al., 2015 ▸). The average N—C and C—S bond lengths of the thiocyanate ligands are 1.157 (1) and 1.627 (11) Å, respectively. The former is very similar to a C N triple-bond length, while the latter is slightly shorter than reported C—S single-bond lengths (Bradforth et al., 1993 ▸; Shin et al., 2010 ▸). The six-membered chelate rings involving C2A, C3A and C2B, C3B atoms adopt a chair conformation, whereas the five-membered chelate rings involving C1A, C4A and C1B, C4B assume a gauche conformation (Min & Suh, 2001 ▸; Kim et al., 2015 ▸).

Supra­molecular features  

The S atoms of the thio­cyanate groups form inter­molecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds with adjacent secondary amine groups of the aza­macrocyclic ligand, giving rise to two symmetry-independent one-dimensional polymeric chains propagating along the b-axis direction (Fig. 2 ▸ and Table 1 ▸).

Database survey  

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.36, Feb 2015 with two updates; Groom & Allen, 2014 ▸) indicated one complex of Ni^II with the same aza­maclocyclic ligand having an anionic tetra­zole derivative at the axial positions (Kim et al., 2015 ▸).

Synthesis and crystallization  

The title compound (I) was prepared as follows. The starting complex, [Ni(C₁₆H₃₈N₆)](ClO₄)₂, was prepared by a slightly modified method reported by Jung et al. (1989 ▸). To a MeCN solution (10 mL) of [Ni(C₁₆H₃₈N₆)](ClO₄)₂ (0.15 g, 0.26 mmol) was slowly added a MeCN solution (5 mL) containing sodium thio­cyanate (0.042 g, 0.52 mmol) at room temperature. A pale-pink precipitate was formed, which was filtered off, washed with MeCN, and diethyl ether, and dried in air. Single crystals of the title compound were obtained by layering of the MeCN solution of sodium thio­cyanate on the MeCN solution of [Ni(C₁₆H₃₈N₆)](ClO₄)₂ for several days. Yield: 0.062 g (49%). FT–IR (KBr, cm⁻¹): 3304, 3243, 2929, 2867, 2069, 1468, 1386, 1273, 1204, 1070, 925.

Safety note: Although we have experienced no problem with the compounds reported in this study, perchlorate salts of metal complexes are often explosive and should be handled with great caution.

Refinement  

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2 ▸. All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.98–0.99 Å and an N–H distance of 1.0 Å with U _iso(H) values of 1.2 or 1.5U _eq of the parent atoms. The C7A and C8A atoms of the macrocyclic ligand were refined as disordered over two sets of sites (C71A, C72A and C81A, C82A) with refined occupancies of 0.630 and 0.370, respectively. The bond lengths and angles of the disordered part were restrained to ensure proper geometry using DFIX and DANG instructions of SHELXL2014 (Sheldrick, 2015b ▸).

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.
