Abstract
The title coordination compound, [Ni(C6H14N2O)2(H2O)2]Cl2, was synthesized by mixing 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine and nickel chloride in double-distilled water. The asymmetric unit comprises one half of an NiII cation (located on an inversion centre), one 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine ligand, one coordinated water molecule and one chloride ion outside the metal coordination sphere. The nickel ion is in a octahedral environment of the N4O2 type, coordinating four N atoms from two 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine ligands and two trans-located O atoms from two water molecules. The morpholine ligand was found disordered over two positions with a site occupancy ratio of 0.708 (8):0.292 (8). The crystal structure is consolidated by N—H⋯Cl, N—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Hirshfeld surface analysis confirms that van der Waals interactions are prevalent in the crystal packing of the synthesized complex.
1. Chemical context
Morpholine has been recognized as a convenient ligand for the design of supramolecular structures (Cvrtila et al., 2012 ▸) since it is a ditopic heterocyclic molecule that can coordinate the metal ion via one hetero atom, leaving the other free for linking to other molecules either by coordination to metal ions (Gálvez Ruiz et al., 2008 ▸; Willett et al., 2005 ▸; Lapadula et al., 2010 ▸; Clegg et al., 2010 ▸) or by hydrogen bonding (Lian et al., 2008 ▸; Weinberger et al., 1998 ▸; Ivanov et al., 2001 ▸). The coordination of a morpholine molecule to a metal ion activates the morpholine molecule as a hydrogen-bond donor by increasing the partial positive charge of the morpholine amine hydrogen. Coordination of two morpholine molecules through nitrogen lone pairs on a single metal centre can lead to a good bonding site for negatively charged small species. A prerequisite for this is that the morpholine ligands are bonded to the central ion in a cis configuration, which may be achieved by the use of chelating co-ligands. These will induce the binding of morpholine in a convenient configuration, so that its N—H groups form a pincer, which can bind guest molecules in the second coordination sphere. Intriguingly, reports of morpholine-based metal–organic receptors are scarce (White et al., 1999 ▸). Transition-metal ions can be an important source of magnetic moments, and when connected through proper bridging ligands, superexchange interactions can take place (Konar et al., 2005 ▸). Parallel to the development of organic electro-optical (EO) and non-linear optical (NLO) materials [Lamshöft et al., (2011 ▸)], a subject of great interest comprises metal–organic chromophores.
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline hybrid materials with networks constructed from the self-assembly of metal ions with, at least, one organic linker. As a result of their availability from commercial sources and/or easy synthetic methodologies, organic ligands based on carboxylate or nitrogen compounds have been used extensively, mainly with transition-metal ions, to isolate new and improved MOF architectures, to be studied for a large range of practical applications (Horcajada et al., 2012 ▸; Kreno et al., 2012 ▸; He et al., 2012 ▸; Chughtai et al., 2015 ▸). Morpholine can be used as a ligand in metal complexes and it can also be a component of protective coatings on fresh fruits and used as an emulsifier in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products (Kuchowicz & Rydzyński, 1998 ▸). As a continuation of our recent work on compounds belonging to the morpholine family (Chidambaranathan et al., 2023 ▸) we are now using morpholine as ligand for coordination complexes. The current study describes the synthesis, crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface, and infrared spectroscopy of bis[4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine-κ2 N:N′]diaquanickel(II) dichloride.
2. Structural commentary
The title compound (Fig. 1 ▸) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with two complexes in the unit cell. The asymmetric unit comprises one half of an NiII cation, which is located on an inversion centre, one [(4-(2-aminoethyl) morpholine] ligand, one coordinated water molecule and one chloride ion outside the metal coordination sphere. The nickel ion is in an octahedral environment of the type N4O2; the coordination sphere comprises two N,N′-bidentate morpholine ligands defining the equatorial plane, which form two five-membered chelate rings with the metal centre (Suleiman Gwaram et al., 2011 ▸). The two remaining trans axial positions are occupied by the oxygen atoms from the water molecules. As a result of symmetry, the N2—Ni—N2i, N1—Ni—N1i and O2–Ni–O2i angles are 180° [symmetry code: (i) −x + 1, −y + 1, −z + 1] and the axes of the octahedron are almost perpendicular to each other [N2—Ni—O2 = 90.80 (12), N2—Ni—O2i = 89.20 (12) and O2—Ni—N1i = 91.86 (14)°]. The morpholine rings adopt a chair conformation·The Ni—N (amine) distances, Ni—N1 and Ni—N2, are of 2.249 (4) and 2.067 (3) Å, respectively, in good agreement with the values observed in the literature (Chiumia et al. 1999 ▸; Chattopadhyay et al. 2005 ▸).

3. Supramolecular features
Figs. 2 ▸ and 3 ▸ highlight the main supramolecular interactions formed by the title compound (see also Table 1 ▸), while Fig. 4 ▸ shows the overall crystal structure viewed down the b-axis direction. In the crystal, the oxygen atoms of the water and of the morpholine molecules (O1 and O2) act as acceptors for several intermolecular interactions of the types N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O, respectively. The uncoordinated chloride anions act as acceptors to C—H and N—H groups of the morpholine molecules and link the adjacent molecules via O—H⋯Cl interactions involving the water molecules.

In particular, a bifurcated intermolecular hydrogen bond is formed between the N2—H2E moiety of the morpholine ligand in the asymmetric unit with an adjacent chloride anion and an adjacent morpholine molecule [N2—H2E⋯Cl1i = 2.79 Å and 138.6°; N2—H2E⋯O1′ii = 2.38 Å and 126.3°; symmetry codes: (i) x −
, −y +
, z −
; (ii) x, y − 1, z]. The two symmetry-related water molecules coordinated by the Ni ion interact each with two chloride anions [O2—H1W⋯Cl1 = 2.23 (2) Å and 166 (4)°; O2—H2W⋯Cl1vii = 2.24 (2) and 166 (5)°; symmetry code: (vii) −x +

;] . Finally, graph-set analysis (Spackman et al., 2021 ▸) shows that very weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the type N—H⋯O form an
(14) ring motif binding two morpholine molecules into a supramolecular dimer (Fig. 3 ▸; Bernstein et al., 1995 ▸; Motherwell et al., 2000 ▸; Spackman et al., 2021 ▸).
The intermolecular interactions were also studied using Hirshfeld surface analysis, by mapping the normalized contact distances using CrystalExplorer21.5 (Spackman et al., 2021 ▸). The Hirshfeld surface (HS) was created with a standard surface resolution; the three-dimensional d norm surface mapped over a set colour scale ranging from −0.5438 to 1.2671 a.u. is shown in Fig. 5 ▸. In the d norm map, blue and red patches show intermolecular interactions with distances greater than and less than the van der Waals radii sum of the interacting elements, respectively (Venkatesan et al., 2016 ▸). The brighter red (big circle), lighter red (big circle), lighter red (small circle) and white spots appearing on the HS represent the O—H⋯Cl, N—H⋯Cl, C—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯O interactions, respectively.

Fig. 6 ▸ shows the two-dimensional fingerprint plots exhibiting (a) all intermolecular interactions and those delineated into (b) H⋯H, (c) H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H and (d) O⋯H/H⋯O contacts. The distances from a place on the HS to the closest atoms outside and inside the surface are represented by d e and d i in the figure. The most important interaction is H⋯H, which accounts for 63.1% of the total crystal packing and is shown in Fig. 6 ▸ b by a pair of symmetrical blunt spikes with points at d e + d i ∼2.4 Å. The high contribution of these interactions suggests that van der Waals interactions play a major role in the crystal packing (Hathwar et al., 2015 ▸). The H⋯Cl interactions are shown by the presence of a pair of wings in the fingerprint plot shown in Fig. 6 ▸ c with the tips at d e + d i ∼2.5 Å, contributing 25.5% to the HS. The pair of sharp symmetrical spikes in the fingerprint plot delineated into O⋯H/H⋯O contacts (11.3% contribution to the HS, Fig. 6 ▸ d), shows a symmetric distribution of points with the tips at d e + d i ∼2.1 Å.

4. Database survey
A search in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, version 5.40; Groom et al., 2016 ▸) for the keyword ‘4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine’ yielded nine hits for coordination compounds of 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine with metals, including catena-[bis(μ2-dicyanamide-N,N′)(4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine]nickel(II) (FIJROG; Konar et al., 2005 ▸), bis[2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethanamine][5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrinato]iron(II) (NABXEW; Ben Haj Hassen et al., 2016 ▸; NABXEW01; Khélifa et al., 2016 ▸), trans-bis[4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine]bis(nitrito)nickel(II) (NAVNAA; Chattopadhyay et al., 2005 ▸; RANVEJ and NAVNAA01; Brayshaw et al., 2012 ▸), trans-bis(isothiocyanato-N)bis[4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine-N,N′]nickel(II) (NENSUU; Laskar et al., 2001 ▸), [4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine-N,N′]aqua(oxalate-O,O′)copper(II) monohydrate (XAZRUM; Koćwin-Giełzak et al., 2006 ▸) and (μ2-oxalato)bis[4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine]dicopper(II) diperchlorate (YIKQAK; Mukherjee et al., 2001 ▸). All of the above-mentioned structures are consolidated by hydrogen bonds and contain morpholine rings in a chair conformation.
5. Synthesis and crystallization
According to the reaction shown in the scheme, the title compound was synthesized by mixing two moles of 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine (4.34 g) and one mole of nickel chloride hexahydrate (3.96 g) in 100 ml of double-distilled water at 303 K. At room temperature, the solution was allowed to evaporate, yielding plate-like ultramarine blue crystals of the title compound. The FT–IR spectrum of the compound was recorded on a BRUKER FT–IR spectrometer. FT–IR (KBr, cm−1): 3455 (w, N—H), 2967 (w, CH2), 1614 (s, H2O), 1307 (s, C—N).

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. |
| Refinement. Morpholine moiety is disordered over two positions with a site occupancy ratio of 70:30. The positions of disordered atoms were identified from difference electron density peaks and refined using DFIX restraints to achieve target bond distance of corresponding atoms. Anisotropic displacement parameters of atoms in the group were restrained to be equal using SIMU restraint with an effective standard deviation of 0.02 Å2 |
