Source of materialAn chloroform solution of 3,7,11,18,22,26-hexaazatricyclo-[26.2.2.2 13,16 ]tetratriaconta-1(31), 13(34),14,16(33),28(32),29-hexaene (L, 0.1 mmol) was added to asolution of cobalt chloride (0.2 mmol) in methanol (5 ml). Then apurple solution was obtained. The crystals were obtained by evaporating the solution at room temperature for several days.
Experimental detailsAll hydrogen atoms on carbon atoms were generated geometrically and refined as riding with d(C-H) =0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 U eq(C). The imido group Hatom and water Hatoms were located from difference Fourier map and and were refined freely.
DiscussionIn the past decade, much attention has been focused on the design and synthesis of macrocyclic polyamines, which can particippate in molecular recognition phenomena with different kinds of substrates, such as organic and inorganic cations, anions and neutral molecules [1,2]. Moreover, hexaaza macrocycles can form dinuclear metal complexes which in turn are capable of coordinating anions [3].The crystal structure of the title compound contains discrete molecules. The cobalt cation is five-coordinated by two chlorine atoms and three Na toms from ligand in at etragonal pyramidal coordination. Co1, N2, N3, Cl1 and Cl2 atoms are almost coplanar and the bond angle sum around cobalt is 358.5°.T he Co1-Cl1 and Co1-Cl2 distances are 2.489(1) Å and 2.351(1) Å,respectively. The mean Co-Ndistance is 2.053 Å.The chloroform and water molecule do not coordinate the cobalt center.
