Abstract
In the title compound, C23H19N8O+·BF4 , one pyridine N atom is protonated. Two intra­molecular N—H(...)N hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H(...)N hydrogen bond links neighboring C23H19N8O+ units into cyclic supra­molecular dimers while C—H(...)O hydrogen bonds link the C23H19N8O+ units into a two-dimensional supra­molecular network structure.

Comment
Recently, the ligand 1,3-bis(bis(2-pyridyl)methylene)amino)urea and its derivatives have been employed to assembly clusters with novel topological structures and interesting magnetic and photomagnetic properties (Wu et al., 2009). In our attempt to synthesize a tetranuclear square iron cluster based on the ligand 1,3-bis(bis(2-pyridyl)methylene)amino)urea and FeII(BF4)2.4H2O, the title compound was obtained unexpectedly. Herein, we report the crystal structure of 1,3-bis(bis(2-pyridyl)methylene)amino)urea tetrafluoroborate (I).
The geometry and labeling scheme for the crystal structure of the title complex are depicted in Figure 1. The molecular structure comprises a [C23H19N8O]+ cation and a charge balancing anion [BF4]-. In the molecular structure, one pyridine nitrogen was protonated by one hydrogen. The cation adopts an EE configuration about the hydrazine bonds which is similar to its precursor 1,3-bis(bis(2-pyridyl)methylene)amino)urea (Manoj et al., 2005).
The C—O bond length is 1.2157 (18) Å. The C—Nhydrazine double bond lengths are 1.297 (2) and 1.301 (2) Å, respectively. There are two intramolecular N—H···N hydrogen bonds. A relatively strong intermolecular N—H···N hydrogen bond links two neighboring [C23H19N8O]+ units into a cyclic supramolecular dimer. In addition, C—H···O hydrogen bonds link the [C23H19N8O]+ units into a two-dimensional supramolecular network structure as shown in Figure 2.
Experimental
The title complex was prepared as following: a methanol solution (5 ml) of [FeII(BF4)2].4H2O (60 mg, 0.2 mmol) was added slowly to a MeOH suspension (20 ml) containing the ligand 1,3-bis(bis(2-pyridyl)methylene)amino)urea (84 mg, 0.2 mmol). After stirring 30 min, the mixture was then carefully filtered and the resulting solution was kept at room temperature for about two days, producing colorless block-shape crystals of (I) with high yield (ca 60%).
Refinement
The coordinates of the three H atoms bound to three nitrogen atoms were found from difference Fourier maps and refined freely. H atoms bound to C atoms were placed using the HFIX commands in SHELXL-97, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å. All H atoms were allowed for as riding atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
