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. 1.

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 −  Inline graphic , −y +  Inline graphic , z −  Inline graphic ; (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 +  Inline graphic , y +  Inline graphic , −z +  Inline graphic ;] . Finally, graph-set analysis (Spackman et al., 2021) shows that very weak inter­molecular hydrogen bonds of the type N—H⋯O form an Inline graphic (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).

6. Refinement

The C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.97 Å) and refined using a riding model with [U iso(H) = 1.2U eq(C)]. The water hydrogen atoms, H1W and H2W, were found in a difference-Fourier map and refined freely.

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
