Second sphere coordination complex via hydrogen bonding: Synthesis, spectroscopic studies of [(C6H5)3RP][trans-Co(NH3)2(NO2)4] where R=benzyl, phenyl or ethyl and X-ray crystal structure of [(C6H5)4P][trans-Co(NH3)2(NO2)4]
摘要:
Yellow colored precipitates of [(C6H5)(3)RP][trans-Co(NH3)(2)(NO2)(4)], where R = benzyl, phenyl or ethyl were obtained by reacting equimolar quantities of K[trans-Co(NH3)(2)(NO2)(4)] and [(C6H5)(3)RP]Br, where R = benzyl, phenyl or ethyl in aqueous medium at room temperature. The salt [(C6H5)(4)P][trans:Co(NH3)(2)(NO2)(4)] crystallized from acetone-methanol mixture in monoclinic space group P2(1)/n having cell dimensions a = 7.013(1) angstrom, b = 17.111 (1) angstrom, c = 22.958(3) angstrom, 13 = 98.06(1)degrees, V = 2727.7(6) angstrom(3), Z = 4, R-1 = 0.0485 and wR(2) = 0.1263. X-ray structure determination revealed the presence of discrete ions, [(C6H5)(4)P](+) and [trans-Co(NH3)(2)(NO2)(4)](-). The constituent ions are held together by hydrogen bonding interactions involving second sphere coordination besides electrostatic forces of interaction. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.V.
