Abstract
Dark red coloured single crystals of [ cis-Co(en) 2(N 3) 2] C 6H 3ClNO 5S·H 2O were obtained by slowly mixing the separately dissolved cis-diazidobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) nitrate with sodium 2-chloro,5-nitrobenzenesulphonate in aqueous medium in 1:1 molar ratio. The complex salt was characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic studies (IR, UV/visible, 1H and 13C NMR) and solubility measurements. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 ¯ with a = 7.8128(2), b = 8.3219(2), c = 17.4526(2) Å, α = 95.224(1), β = 95.759(1), γ = 116.636(2)°, V = 997.36(5) Å 3, Z = 2. Single crystal X-ray structure determination revealed an ionic structure consisting of [ cis-Co(en) 2(N 3) 2] +, [C 6H 3ClNO 5S] − and one lattice water molecule. In the complex cation [ cis-Co(en) 2(N 3) 2] +, the cobalt(III) is bonded to six nitrogen atoms, originating from two ethylenediamine ligands, and two azide groups showing an octahedral geometry around cobalt(III). Supramolecular hydrogen-bonding networks involving second-sphere coordination like [ NH en + ⋯ X anion − ] and NH en + ⋯ O water besides electrostatic forces of attraction have been observed to stabilize crystal lattice. This is the first crystal structure of a salt containing 2-chloro,5-nitrobenzenesulphonate anion and cis-diazidobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) cation.
