Crystal structure, thermal and fluorescence properties of 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-1,1′,1′′-triium tetra­chlorido­nickelate(II) chloride

The synthesis, and structural determination of 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-1,1′,1′′-triium tetra­chlorido­nickelate(II) chloride are reported. The crystal structure features N—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and Ni—Cl⋯π ring inter­actions.

Abstract

The title compound, (C₁₅H₁₄N₃)[NiCl₄]Cl, comprises an Ni^II cation tetra­hedrally coordinated by four chloride anions, a non-coordinating chloride anion and an essentially planar terpyridinium trication (tpyH₃ ³⁺), in which the central pyridinium ring forms dihedral angles of 5.7 (2) and 6.0 (2)° with the peripheral pyridinium rings. Three inter-species N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are formed with the Cl⁻ anion, which also forms a link between the (tpyH₃ ³⁺) cations through an aromatic C—H⋯Cl inter­action, forming a zigzag chain extending along the 2₁ (b) screw axis. Two of the anionic Cl atoms of the [NiCl₄]²⁻ anions form Ni—Cl⋯π inter­actions with separate pyridinium rings [Ni⋯Cg = 3.669 (3) and 3.916 (4) Å]. In the crystal, successive undulating inorganic and organic layers are formed, extending across the (100) plane. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) indicate that the compound starts to decompose at 313 K and may be a candidate for use as a blue-light luminescent material.

Chemical context  

The 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine mol­ecule (tpy) has been the object of numerous studies because of its excellent complexing properties on metal ions. The multitude of applications of this cation motivated a large development in the synthesis of terpyridines during the last decade. The compounds derived from the terpyridine mol­ecule can be used in photochemistry for the realization of luminescent materials (Adeloye et al., 2012 ▸), the assembly of electrochemical sensors (Indelli et al., 1998 ▸), in photocatalysis (Mori et al., 2012 ▸) and as a sensitizing agent in photovoltaic conversion processes (Kohle et al., 1996 ▸). The literature reports some hybrid complexes of transition metal species incorporating tpy as a neutral ligand as well as complexes with its protonated forms [(tpyH⁺), (tpyH₂ ²⁺), (tpyH₃ ³⁺)] (Kochel, 2006 ▸). The title compound, which is a new hybrid complex, was characterized using IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography and its thermal and fluorescence properties have also been recorded.

Structural commentary  

Crystals of (C₁₅H₁₄N₃)[NiCl₄]Cl, (I), are monoclinic (space group P2₁), the asymmetric unit comprising an organic terpyridinium (tpyH₃ ³⁺) cation, a tetra­chloro­nickelate(II) [NiCl₄]²⁻ dianion and a free chloride anion (Cl5) (Fig. 1 ▸).

The (tpyH₃ ³⁺) cation has the cis–cis conformation and is essentially planar, with dihedral angles between the central pyridine ring and the two peripheral ring moieties of the ligand of 5.7 (2) and 6.0 (2)°. The three protonated N atoms (N1, N2 and N3) form hydrogen bonds with the chloride counter-anion (Cl5) (Table 1 ▸), giving short H11⋯H22 and H22⋯H33 contacts (1.70 and 1.68 Å, respectively), which are comparable to those reported for tpyH₃Cl(PF₆)₂ (H⋯H range: 1.667–1.684 Å; Yoshikawa et al., 2016 ▸). The complete protonation of an aromatic mol­ecule that is nitro­gen-enriched (a polynitro­genous derivative) is rarely observed, probably because of an unfavorable charge distribution resulting from the proximity of the nitro­gen H atoms, as previously indicated in this structure. This results in an opening of the inter­nal angles of the three N atoms [C1—N1—C5 = 124.0 (4), C10—N2—C6 = 118.9 (3) and C15—N3—C11 = 123.2 (3)°]. These values are comparable to those found in the literature for (tpyH₃ ³⁺). In 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine­triium bis­(hexa­fluorido­phosphate) chloride (Yoshikawa et al., 2016 ▸), C1—N1—C5 = 122.90, C6—N2—C10 = 117.60 and C11—N3—C15 = 123.27, C16—N4—C20 = 123.69, C21—N5—C25 = 118.22 and C26—N6—C30 = 123.97° and in catena-[(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin­ium)(μ₃-sulfato)­sulfato­dioxouranium) nitrate dihydrate] (Jie Ling et al., 2010 ▸), C1—N1—C5 = 123.33, C6—N2—C10 = 118.03 and C11—N3—C15 = 123.29°. The inter­nal angles for a deprotonated terpyridine are C1—N1—C5 = 116.9 (8), C10—N2—C6 = 119.6 (11) and C15—N3—C11 = 117.1 (8)° (Maynard et al., 2009 ▸).

The nickel(II) centre of the dianion has a quasi-regular tetra­hedral environment [Ni—Cl bond length range, 2.185 (2)–2.201 (2) Å and Cl—Ni—Cl bond angle range, 108.08 (5)–111.59 (5)°] (Fig. 2 ▸). The inter­atomic distance and angle values are in good agreement with those taken from the literature (Igashira-Kamiyama et al., 2013 ▸).

Supra­molecular features  

The previously described inter-species unit formed through the three individual N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds between the (tpyH₃ ³⁺) cation and the Cl5⁻ anion (Table 1 ▸) is extended through a C14—H14⋯Cl5ⁱ hydrogen bond into chains extending along the 2₁ screw axis of the unit cell. Convoluted layers comprising successive [tpyH₃ ³⁺, Cl⁻] (type A) and [NiCl₄]²⁻ (type B) ions extend across the (100) plane (Figs. 3 ▸ and 4 ▸). Two of the anionic Cl atoms of the [NiCl₄]²⁻ anion form Ni—Cl⋯π inter­actions with separate pyridine ring moieties of the cation within the asymmetric unit: Ni1—Cl1⋯Cg1 = 3.916 (4) Å and Ni1—Cl2⋯Cg2 = 3.669 (3) Å, where Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the N1/C1–C5 and N2/C6–C10 rings, respectively (Fig. 3 ▸).

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)  

Thermal analyses were performed on a SETARM 92-16.18 PC/PG 1 instrument from 303 to 1273 K under a dynamic air atmosphere and under nitro­gen at 200.0 ml min⁻¹ with a heating rate of 10 K min⁻¹.

The stability of the (C₁₅H₁₄N₃)[NiCl₄]Cl complex was measured by TGA and the experimental results are in agreement with the calculated data. As shown in Fig. 5 ▸, the first weight loss of 16.5% (calculated 15.21%) at 40–126 K corresponds to the loss of the two coordinated chloride anions and the second loss of 48.6% (calculated 49.9%) at 126–281 K corresponds to the loss of the organic mol­ecule tpyH₃ ³⁺, and then the two coordinated and free chloride anions gradually decompose (ΔP/P = 23.14%, calculated = 22.51%). In addition, the corresponding endothermic peaks (at 394.16; 554.63°C and at 638 K) in the differential scanning ATD curve also record the processes of weight loss.

Luminescent properties  

Photoluminescence spectra were measured using a Cary Eclipse (Agilent Technologies) fluorescence spectrophotometer.

The fluorescence properties of (C₁₅H₁₄N₃)[NiCl₄]Cl and the free ligand tpy were investigated in the solid state at 298 K. As depicted in Fig. 6 ▸, the new compound (I) exhibits fluorescence emission at ca 481 nm (excited at 250 nm) compared to that of tpy (425 nm, excited at 250 nm), which can be attributed to π–π* electronic transitions. Thus, the title compound may be a candidate for use as a blue-light luminescent material and it is believed that more transition metal heterocyclic compounds with good luminescent properties may be developed (Wen et al., 2007 ▸; Zhang et al., 2010 ▸; Huang et al., 2013 ▸).

Database survey  

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.38; Groom et al., 2016 ▸) shows 4279 hits comprising the terpyridine species. However, only two structures containing the (tpyH₃ ³⁺) form are present (Ling et al., 2010 ▸; Yoshikawa et al., 2016 ▸).

Synthesis and crystallization  

All the chemicals and solvents were purchased commercially and used as received. The infrared spectra were recorded on a Perkin–Elmer spectrometer at room temperature in the range of 4000–500 cm⁻¹. tpy (1.67 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in a 50/50 mixture of water and ethanol (20 ml) in a 50 ml round-bottom flask. Nickel(II) chloride (2.50 g, 10 mmol) was added to the flask to give a green-coloured solution that was stirred for 3 h under gentle heat, producing a green-coloured precipitate. The precipitate was filtered and washed twice with cold water/ethanol solvent then dried under vacuum for 20 min, producing a green powder (2.7g, 64% yield). Green prismatic crystals of the title complex (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from water/ethanol solvent. IR of (I) (cm⁻¹): 3390 (v/s), 2930 (v/s), 1667.8 (s), 1622.4 (s), 1417.4 (m), 987.6 (w), 540.6 (w).

Refinement  

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2 ▸. All H atoms were placed at calculated positions and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å and with U _iso(H) = 1.2U _eq(C,N). Although not of relevance with this achiral mol­ecule, the Flack parameter (Flack, 1983 ▸) was determined as 0.178 (16) for 4425 Friedel pairs. Minor non-merohedral twinning was identified and allowed for in the refinement, giving a BASF factor of 0.1783.

Special details

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles

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.
