The crystal structure and absolute configuration of ( )aa~-truns-dinitro(l,l0-diamino-4,7-diazadecane)cobalt(III) bromide, ( + ) [ C o { N H ~ ( C H ~ ) ~ N H ( C H ~ ) Z N H ( C( N HO~P) )~ZJ]H Bhave ~ ,] been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data collected by counter methods The crystals are monoclinic, with a = 7.848 (5), b = 14 756 (12), c = 6.397 ( 5 ) 8, p = 99 5 (l)', and two formula units in space group P21. The structure was solved by application of Patterson and Fourier techniques and refined on F by full-matrix least-squares methods to a final residual RI = 0.038. The absolute configuration of the cation was determined by the Bijvoet method. The inner coordination sphere around the cobalt atom is approximately octahedral, with the tetradentate linear tetramine occupying the equatorial plane and two nitro ligands the apices. The conformation of the five-membered chelate ring is gauche, with absolute configuration 6. The two six-membered chelate rings assume the chair conformation. The configurations of the asymmetric secondary nitrogen atoms are both R.

little or no intensity observed. The pulse height analyzer was set to accept a window of approximately 90% when centered on the Mo Kcul peak. Coincidence losses for strong reflections were minimized by insertion of copper foil attenuators with attenuator factors of approximately 2.0. During the collection of the data, three intense, axial reflections (loo), (040), and (002) were monitored after every 100 reflections recorded. The intensities observed showed only a statistical variation throughout data collection. The Friedel pair data set ( A b ) was then collected under the same conditions. In all, 1438 ( h k l ) reflections were collected. The 1151 unique reflections for which F2 > 2u(F2) were used in the solution and refinement of the structure. The data were then corrected for background and Lorentzpolarization effects. Standard deviations were assigned as described previously,g using a value of p = 0.04.11 Absorption correction trials using p = 41 .O cm-l for Mo Kcu radiation showed transmission factors varying from 0.67 to 0.79, so an absorption correction was applied.12

Structure Solution and Refinement Initial coordinates for the cobalt and bromine atoms were determined from a Patterson synthesis. The y coordinate of the cobalt atom was chosen as l / 4 to fix the origin of the unit cell. Of the two possible Br positions determined from the Patterson synthesis, related by the mirror plane y = l/4, one was arbitrarily chosen a t this point. One cycle of full-matrix, least-squares refinement varying positional and isotropic thermal parameters of the two atoms gave values of RI = Z[lFul - ~ F o ~ ~ /=Z 0.43 ~ F oand ~ RZ = ( Z w ( F, F, ) 2 / Z w F o a ) 1 /= z 0.53. Thefunction minimized was Zw( F, F ) 2 , and the weight w was calculated as 4FO2/u2(Fo2).The atomic scattering factors for Br, Co, 0, N, and C were taken

from Cromer and \Vaber;la that of H was from Stewart, et d . 1 4 The real and imaginary anomalous dispersion corrections for Co and Br of Cromer were used.'s Aseries of least-squares refinements and difference Fourier syntheses located the remaining nonhydrogen atoms. Two cycles of least-squares refinement of the 20 nonhydrogen atoms, with isotropic thermal parameters, reduced R1 and 122 t o 0.097 and 0.128, respectively. Two possible enantiomeric structures exist-that chosen up to this point, referred to as structure R, and its mirror image referred to as structure L. These are related in space group P21 by a mirror plane perpendicular to b. To distinguish between the two, the refinement on structure R was continued and, with isotropic thermal parameters, coverged a t R1 = 0.080 and R2 = 0,109. The atomic positional parameters were then reflected across y = to give structure L and refined using isotropic thermal parameters and the same data. The refinement of structure L converged a t R1 = 0.102 and R1 = 0.136. The R-factor shows that ratio test applied to the weighted agreement factors, Rz, the L structure may be conclusively rejected a t the 0.005 level.16 It has been shown that the choice of the wrong enantiomer for the value of Af" applied to the scattering factor will lead to polar dispersion errors in the coordinates of atoms for which there are anomalous scattering effects.17 An examination of the geometry of the refined cations showed the Co-N(l) and Co-K(3) vectors to be within 7' of the y axis. I n space group P21 the error will be in the y coordinate.l8 An incorrect choice of enantiomer should therefore result in a discrepancy between the Co-K(1) and Co-N(3) bond lengths. For the R structure values of Co-N(l) and c o - x ( 3 ) of 2.01 and 1.98 A were observed, and for the L structure the values were 1.81 and 2.21 A, respectively. The bond lengths observed for the L structure differ by 0.4 A, and this model may therefore be rejected. On these two criteria the R structure was chosen as the correct enantiomer. A difference Fourier synthesis a t this stage revealed clear evidence of the 22 hydrogen atoms, thus justifying their inclusion in the model. Idealized coordinates were used, assuming tetrahedral coordination about both nitrogen and carbon atoms and C-H and N-H bond lengths of 1.0 b. The contributions from the hydrogen atoms were thereafter included in calculations of F,. One cycle of least-squares refinement, allowing the 22 nonhydrogen atoms to vibrate anisotropically, reduced Rl and R2 to 0.064 and 0.072. On the basis of this model the hydrogen atom coordinates were recalculated, and the refinement on F , employing 1151 reflections with Fo2 > 2 u ( F O 2 )converged , a t R1 = 0.038 and R2: = 0.039. For all 180 variables in the full-matrix leastsquares refinement the final shift was less than 0.1 esd. -4 statistical analysis of Ra over various ranges of 1 F,/ and X -l sin 0 confirmed that the weighting scheme was satisfactory and showed no unusual trends. The error in an observation of unit weight is 1.11 electrons. A comparison of F, and F, values showed that secondary extinction was not significant. A difference Fourier synthesis computed from structure factors based on the final model showed no features of chemical significance. a t fracThe highest peak was of electron density 0.42 (9) e k 3 tional coordinates (0.192, 0.467, 0.311). The final positional and thermal parameters are given in Table I. The derived hydrogen atom positional parameters, which were not varied in the refinement, are listed in Table 11. Structure amplitudes 'are presented in Table 111, as 10IFoI and 10lF,I in electrons . l a

As discussed earlier, the wrong application of the anomalous dispersion correction to the atomic scattering factors leads to polar dispersion errors. I n structure R , final values of the Co-?; bond lengths, Co-N(l) of 1.971 (8) h and co-n'(3) of 1.990 (8) A, were determined. For structure L, values of Co-N(l) of 1.929 (10) dk and Co-N(3) of 2.031 (9) A were found. The difference for structure L is 0.102 (13) A, or approximately 8 u . Accordingly, we can also reject structure L on the basis of the cation geometry. TABLE IV DETERMIXATIOX OF ABSOLUTE CONFIGURATION
