In the title hydrated salt, C12H19N2Se+·Cl0.44/Br0.56−·H2O, the halide ions (both with 2) have different Cl−/Br− occupancies of 0.399 (2)/0.601 (2) and 0.491 (2)/0.509 (2). In the crystal, the cation and anion are linked by an Se⋯X (X = Cl/Br) interaction of length 3.5593 (8) Å. The water molecule and anions are linked by O—H⋯X hydrogen bonds into a staggered chain propagating in the b-axis direction and the packing is consolidated by weak C—H⋯X interactions.
Keywords: crystal structure; selenenyl cation; mixed halide salts.

Structure description
The molecular structure of hydrated molecular salt 3, [C12H19N2Se]+Cl0.44/Br0.56−·H2O is shown in Fig. 1. It crystallizes in the monoclinic with 56% of Br and 46% of Cl in total but distributed over two sites in different ratios [in site 1, the Cl/Br ratio is 0.399 (2)/0.601 (2) and in site 2 the Cl/Br ratio is 0.491 (2)/0.509 (2)]. There have been three previous structures containing the same cation with PF6− (Fujihara et al., 1995), HF2− (Poleschner & Seppelt, 2004) and Br− (Varga et al., 2010) as counter-ions. This latter compound is essentially isostructural with 3 but with a stoichiometric amount of Br−.
The geometry around Se is T-shaped with an N1—Se—N2 angle of 161.38 (7)°. The Se—N bonds give rise to two five-membered chelate rings and the central ring (C1–C6) is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 Å) with two other atoms approximately in this plane [Se1, 0.065 (2) Å and C7 0.059 (2) Å]. The N1—Se1—N2 axis is twisted by 14.4 (2)° about this plane. The Se—N bond lengths are 2.1836 (17) and 2.1861 (17) Å and the Se⋯Br/Cl distance is 3.559 (3) Å, which is shorter than Σrvdw (Se, X) 3.75/3.65 Å for Br/Cl, providing a second coordination sphere.
In the extended structure, the water molecule and anions are linked by hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into a staggered chain in the b-axis direction. The packing also features weak C—H⋯Br interactions. In addition there are C—H⋯π interactions, which link the cations into dimers (shown in Fig. 2). The overall packing is shown in Fig. 3.
Synthesis and crystallization
To a stirred solution of 1 (1.25 g, 4.61 mmol) in dry Et2O (15 ml) at 273 K, n-BuLi (2.88 ml, 4.60 mmol) was added dropwise via syringe under an inert argon atmosphere. After 30 min, the colour of the reaction mixture changed from colourless to yellowish, and elemental Se powder (0.36 g, 4.61 mmol) was added under a full flow of argon. After 6 h stirring at room temperature, saturated NH4Cl (50 ml) was added and oxygen gas was bubbled for 20 min. The whole mixture was extracted with Et2O and the organic phase was washed with H2O, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated by rotary evaporator. The reaction scheme is shown in Fig. 4. The resulting solid was dried over vacuum to afford 3 (0.94 g, 75% yield) as a yellowish solid (m.p. = 427–430 K). Colourless prisms of 3 were obtained by slow diffusion of hexane into a CH2Cl2 solution at room temperature. The water molecule of crystallization was presumably absorbed from the atmosphere. 1H NMR: δ (p.p.m.) 7.20 (s, 3H, ArCH2), 4.12 (s, 4H, –CH2), 2.91 (s, 12H, NCH3). 13C NMR: δ (p.p.m.) 132.57, 132.40, 128.42, 125.94, 64.04, 48.98. 77Se NMR: δ (p.p.m.) 1201. Analysis calculated (%) for C12H19Cl/BrSeN2: C 42.67; H 6.34; N 7.95. Found: C 42.52; H 6.34; N 8.26.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. The H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å. Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl H atoms and 1.2 for all other C-bound H atoms. The hydrogen atoms attached to water were refined isotropically. |
