Abstract
Two compounds, [CoIII(L)(py)3][CoII(py)Cl3]EtOH and [CoIII(L)(py)3]I3 (H2L= salicylaldehyde S-methylisothiosemicarbazone,
py =pyridine), were synthesized and the crystal structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In both structures the
geometries of the cation are very similar to a thiosemicarbazide-based ligand coordinated in the mer configuration. The axial
pyridines are in mutual perpendicular orientation, the angles between the planes being 85.3(2) and 82.5(2). The plane of the
equatorial pyridine is tilted with respect to the equatorial plane by about 40. The orientations of the pyridines were studied in
model systems by quantum chemistry calculations. It was shown that the interactions between axial and equatorial pyridines are
responsible for the orientation of pyridines in the complex cation; consequently, there are very similar geometries of the complex
cation in both crystal structures. The compounds were also characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic
susceptibility and electronic absorption spectra. 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction
Because of their biological activity and analytical
application, thiosemicarbazides and thiosemicarbazones, as well as their metal complexes have been the
subject of many studies [1]. Numerous metal complexes
have been synthesized with S-alkylisothiosemicarbazide-based ligands and one of the most extensively
used ligands is salicylaldehyde S-alkylisothiosemicarbazone [2,3]. This ligand can coordinate to the metal in

Data were collected on an EnrafNonius CAD4 diffractometer [14] using Mo Ka radiation (u=0.71069 A, )
and 2q scans in the 1.2325.98 q range for complex
1 and 1.6427.97 q range for complex 2. Cell constants and an orientation matrix for data collection,
obtained from 24 centered reflections in the range
14.9717.98 for 1 and 13.0417.14 for 2, corresponded to a triclinic and monoclinic cell, respectively.
The dimensions are given in Table 1. The data were
corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects [15]. A
Gaussian-type absorption correction [16b] based on the
crystal morphology was applied (Tmin = 0.535, Tmax =
0.713 for 1; Tmin = 0.254, Tmax = 0.531 for 2).
The structures were solved by the heavy atom
method [17a] and difference Fourier methods and
refined on F 2 by a full-matrix least-squares method
[17b]. All H atoms were placed at the calculated positions except the H atoms from the isothiosemicarbazide
moiety, which were determined from difference Fourier
synthesis and freely refined. Idealized H atoms were
refined with isotropic displacement parameters set to
1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups) times the equivalent
isotropic U value of the parent atom.
Special attention has to be given to the refinement of
complex 1. In a previous paper [2] the reported structure did not contain any solvent molecule. Nevertheless,
a precise analysis of the structure with the PLATON
program [16,18] has shown that solvent accessible voids
exist in the crystal lattice with a volume of 208.8 A, 3.
Theoretical volumes for EtOH dimer as solvent
molecules fit very well with the calculated space. Ethanol molecules can be expected in the crystal lattice since
synthesis is done in that solvent. Moreover, the experimental density of 1 is 1.48 Mg m 3, and calculated
densities are 1.493 and 1.406 Mg m 3 with and without
EtOH, respectively. The elemental analysis is also in
agreement with the presence of solvent molecules in the
crystal lattice.
In order to take into account the presence of EtOH
molecules in the crystal, two different refinements have
been performed on the new dataset:

geometry is a dimer exhibiting mutual H-bonds between oxygen lone pairs and hydrogen atoms from CH2
groups (I). (ii) The cation complex structure remains
globally the same [2], but as expected the values are
more accurate (Table 2). (iii) The main discrepancy is
observed in the salicylaldehyde S-methylisothiosemicarbazone ligand. After final full-matrix least-squares
refinement with anisotropic temperature factors for
non-H atoms, there was no suitable peak indicating the
presence of a hydrogen atom near the N2 atom.
