Crystal structure of hexa­kis­(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)cobalt(II) bis­[tri­chlorido­(quinoline-κN)cobaltate(II)]

Anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride reacts with quinoline (C₉H₇N) in dimethyl sulfoxide (Me₂SO) to form the novel complex salt [Co^II(Me₂SO)₆][Co^IICl₃quinoline]₂. The compound comprises an octa­hedral homoleptic Me₂SO-solvated cobalt(II) cation and a tetra­hedral cobaltate(II) anion attached to three chloro ligands and one quinoline moiety.

Abstract

There are few reports that describe crystal structures of compounds containing cobalt complexed to either dimethyl sulfoxide (Me₂SO) or quinoline (C₉H₇N). The title compound, [Co(C₂H₆OS)₆][CoCl₃(C₉H₇N)]₂, is a cobalt salt in which the metal ion is complexed to both Me₂SO and quinoline. In particular, we observed that anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride reacts with quinoline in Me₂SO to form a salt that is to be formulated as [Co^II(Me₂SO)₆]²⁺{[Co^IICl₃quinoline]₂ ⁻}. The Co^II atom in the cation portion of this mol­ecule lies on a inversion center and is bound to the O atoms of six Me₂SO moieties in an octa­hedral configuration, while the Co^II atom in the anion is attached to three chloride ligands and one quinoline moiety in a tetra­hedral arrangement.

Chemical context  

Quinoline-based mol­ecules have shown significant promise in the development of clinically viable anti-cancer drugs (Afzal et al., 2015 ▸). Metal complexes containing quinoline include: (i) square-planar palladium- and platinum-quinoline compounds, such as trans-[Pd(II)Cl₂(quinoline)₂], cis-[Pt(II)Cl₂(quinoline)₂] and trans-[Pd(II)(N₃)₂(quinoline)₂] (Ha, 2012 ▸; Klapötke et al., 2000 ▸; Raven et al., 2012 ▸; Davies et al., 2001 ▸), as well as (ii) tetra­hedral cobalt-, nickel- and zinc-quinoline compounds, of the form [M ^IICl₂(quinoline)₂] (Golic & Mirceva, 1988 ▸). Inter­estingly, despite the fact that the inter­action of dimethyl sulfoxide (Me₂SO) with metal ions has been studied for many years (Cotton & Francis, 1960 ▸), metal compounds that incorporate both coordinated quinoline and Me₂SO are rare, as illustrated by the fact that only one structurally characterized example is listed in the Cambridge Structural Database (Groom et al., 2016 ▸), Zn(O₂CC₆H₄C₂HN₃CO₂CH₃)₂·(quinoline)·Me₂SO (Ma et al., 2012 ▸). Herein, we describe the structure of the complex salt [Co^II(Me₂SO)₆][Co^IICl₃quinoline]₂, which can be obtained by the reaction of anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride with quinoline in Me₂SO.

Structural commentary  

The mol­ecular structures of the cation and anion portions of the title complex are shown in Fig. 1 ▸ a and 1b, respectively. In the cation portion of this compound, the cobalt atom lies on a crystallographic inversion center and is coordinated to oxygen atoms of six Me₂SO groups in an octa­hedral configuration. The cation is not rigorously octa­hedral, as the Co—O bond distances are slightly elongated in the axial positions [2.1258 (17) Å] compared to the equatorial positions [2.0606 (17)–2.0819 (18) Å], giving an average Co—O distance of 2.089 Å. A closely related complex, [Co(Me₂SO)₆][CoCl₄], contains a cobalt cation that is similarly surrounded by six oxygen atoms in a slightly distorted octa­hedral configuration with Co—O distances between 2.06 (1) and 2.10 (1) Å, with a mean Co—O distance of 2.08Å (Ciccarese et al., 1993 ▸). The O—Co—O (cis) bond angles in the title complex are close to 90°, ranging from 86.29 (7) to 93.71 (7)°, compared to 87.9 (5) to 90.8 (4)° in [Co(Me₂SO)₆][CoCl₄] (Ciccarese et al., 1993 ▸).

The cobalt atom in the anion portion of the title complex is attached to three chloro ligands and one quinoline moiety in a tetra­hedral arrangement. The Co—Cl bond distances range from 2.2517 (10) to 2.2534 (10) Å, with an average Co—Cl distance of 2.252 Å, while the Co—N distance is 2.054 (3) Å. The Cl—Co—Cl angles range from 108.21 (5) to 114.26 (4)°, giving an average of 110.98°, and the average N—Co—Cl angle is 107.88° [range 107.09 (9) to 108.80 (8)°], indicating that while the anion is close to tetra­hedral, there is some distortion. Inter­estingly, the [CoCl₄]²⁻ anion in [Co(Me₂SO)₆][CoCl₄] also showed some distortion with Co—Cl distances ranging from 2.265 (6) to 2.305 (7) Å, giving an average Co—Cl distance of 2.284 (6) Å, and the Cl—Co—Cl angles ranging from 107.1 (2) to 112.4 (2)° (Ciccarese et al., 1993 ▸). The deviations from 109.5° in [Co(Me₂SO)₆][CoCl₄] were ascribed to disorder, as indicated by the high anisotropic motion (Ciccarese et al., 1993 ▸).

The degree of distortion from a tetra­hedral arrangement can be readily qu­anti­fied by the τ₄ index that is reported and discussed elsewhere (Yang et al., 2007 ▸, Palmer et al., 2015 ▸). Briefly, τ₄ is obtained from the expression, τ₄ = [360 − (α + β)]/141, where α and β represent the two largest angles; a τ₄ value of 1.00 indicates an idealized tetra­hedral geometry, whereas a value of 0.00 indicates an idealized square-planar geometry. In the title complex, α = 114.26 (4)° and β = 110.46 (4)°, such that τ₄ is 0.96, which indicates very little deviation from a tetra­hedral geometry. For comparison, τ₄ for the [CoCl₄]²⁻ anion in [Co(Me₂SO)₆][CoCl₄] is 0.98 (where α = 112.38° and β = 108.81°; Ciccarese et al., 1993 ▸).

Supra­molecular features  

Fig. 2 ▸ shows the packing in the unit cell. There are no significant inter­molecular inter­actions between the [Co^II(Me₂SO)₆]²⁺ and [Co^IICl₃quinoline]⁻ ions, with the exception of very weak C—H⋯Cl interactions. The distances between the Cl and the carbon atoms of the methyl groups of the Me₂SO ligands are, for example, Cl1⋯C32—S3 (symmetry code: x, y, z) [3.525 (3) Å], Cl1⋯C31—S3 (symmetry code: x, y, z) [3.736 (4) Å], Cl2⋯C22—S2 (symmetry code: 1 + x, 1 + y, z) [3.633 (4) Å], Cl2⋯C21—S2 (symmetry code: 1 + x, 1 + y, z) [3.770 (4) Å], Cl3⋯C12—S1 (symmetry code: 1 + x, y, z) [3.638 (4) Å] and Cl3⋯C32—S3 (symmetry code: x, 1 + y, z) [3.819 (4) Å] and are comparable to the sum of the van der Waals radii of Cl and CH₃ of 3.80 Å (Pauling, 1986 ▸).

Database survey  

The structure reported herein is closely related to the previously reported [Co(Me₂SO)₆][CoCl₄] complex as discussed above (Ciccarese et al., 1993 ▸). Inter­estingly, as long ago as 1960, and based on spectral and magnetic evidence only, Cotton & Francis reported that a complex having the empirical formula CoCl₂·3Me₂SO is more correctly formulated as [Co(Me₂SO)₆][CoCl₄] (Cotton & Francis, 1960 ▸).

In addition to [Co(Me₂SO)₆][CoCl₄], there are a few other examples of cobalt complexes solvated by Me₂SO that are listed in the Cambridge Database (CSD Version 5.38; Groom et al., 2016 ▸). For example, there are two reports for [Co(Me₂SO)₆][ClO₄]₂, one of which possesses Co—O distances in the range 2.0833 (17)–2.0934 (15) Å, giving a mean Co—O distance of 2.088 (5) Å, with O—Co—O (cis) angles between 90.11 (6) and 92.31 (6)° (Comuzzi et al., 2002 ▸), while a subsequent report lists Co—O distances in the range 2.088 (2)–2.110 (2) Å, with O—Co—O (cis) angles between 85.26 (7) and 93.67 (8)° (Chan et al., 2004 ▸). In [Co(Me₂SO)₆][SnCl₆], both the cobalt and tin metal ions display an octa­hedral environments, with the Co—O bond lengths reported between 2.093 (4) and 2.113 (5) Å (White et al., 2007 ▸). The O—Co—O (cis) angles vary between 89.0 (2) and 90.0 (2)° (White et al., 2007 ▸).

In addition to the above Co^II compounds, the octa­hedral Co^III complex [Co(Me₂SO)₆][NO₃]₃ is also known and possesses six equivalent Co—O bond lengths of 2.005 (2) Å, which are shorter than the values in the Co^II complexes (Li & Ng, 2010 ▸).

Although Me₂SO is typically coordinated to a metal via the oxygen atom (Sipos et al., 2015 ▸; Calligaris, 2004 ▸; Calligaris & Carugo, 1996 ▸), there are examples in which Me₂SO serves as an S-donor, as illustrated by the ruthenium complex [mer-RuCl₃(acv)(Me₂SO-S)(C₂H₅OH)]·C₂H₅OH (acv = a­cyclo­vir) (Turel et al., 2004 ▸). With regard to cobalt, it has been noted that Co^II is a hard acceptor preferring hard-donor atoms like oxygen in Me₂SO, the bonds being mainly electrostatic in nature (Comuzzi et al., 2002 ▸). Nevertheless, while Me₂SO coordination to cobalt through the soft-donor sulfur atom (rather than the oxygen atom) is rare, there are some notable examples. For example, the compound bis­(dimethyl sulfoxide)­hydridobis(tri­phenyl­phosphane)cobalt(I), [CoH(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂(Me₂SO)₂], contains Co^I coordinating a hydride anion, two phosphine ligands and two Me₂SO moieties that are bound through the sulfur atom in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal structure (Hapke et al., 2010 ▸). Inter­estingly, there is an example of a cobalt(III) porphyrin complex that contains both oxygen- and sulfur-bound Me₂SO moieties, i.e. bis­(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)-(5,10,15,20-tetra­kis­(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)porphyrinato)-cobalt(III) bis­(dimethyl sulfoxide-κS)-(5,10,15,20-tetra­kis­(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)porph­yr­inato)cobalt(III) bis­(hexa­fluoro­anti­monate) dimethyl sulfoxide solvate (Venkatasubbaiah et al., 2011 ▸). The existence of both forms of Me₂SO bonding to Co^III in this latter complex cannot be predicted readily by the application of traditional hard/soft-acid/base theory.

The Co—N bond length in the anion [Co^IICl₃(quinoline)₂]⁻ of the title compound is 2.037 (5) Å while the Co–Cl bond lengths are 2.2517 (10)–2.2534 (10) Å, and the Cl—Co—Cl and Cl—Co—N angles range between 108.21 (5) and 114.26 (4)°, and 107.09 (9) and 108.80 (8)°, respectively. For comparison, the Co—N bond lengths in the Co^IICl₂(quinoline)₂ complex are 2.061 (3) and 2.037 (5) Å and the Co—Cl bond lengths are 2.246 (2) and 2.241 (1) Å (Golic & Mirceva, 1988 ▸), while the Cl—Co—Cl angle is 114.5 (1)° and the Cl—Co—N angles range between 106.2 (1) and 108.9 (1)°.

Synthesis and crystallization  

Anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride (97%; 0.1301 g, 0.0010 mol) was mixed with quinoline, C₉H₇N, (99%; 0.2595 g, 0.0020 mol) in Me₂SO (20 mL) and refluxed for one h. After cooling down, the mixture was transferred to a beaker and placed in a desiccator containing anhydrous calcium chloride pellets (4–20 mesh) to crystallize over a period of four months. Deep-blue crystals of [Co(Me₂SO)₆]²⁺{[CoCl₃quinoline]₂}⁻ suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained from this process of slow evaporation. Notably, when the reaction between anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride and quinoline is conducted in EtOH, rather than Me₂SO, the previously reported [Co^IICl₂(quinoline)₂] complex is obtained (Golic & Mirceva, 1988 ▸).

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.
