Aqua(phthalocyaninato-kappa4N)magnesium(II) 3-chloropyridine disolvate.
The structure of the title compound, [Mg(C(32)H(16)N(8))(H(2)O)].2C(5)H(4)ClN, comprises MgPcH(2)O [Pc is phthalocyaninate(2-)] and 3-chloropyridine solvent molecules interacting via O-H...N hydrogen bonds and pi-pi interactions. The central Mg atom is (4+1)-coordinated by four equatorial isoindole N atoms of the macrocycle and by the O atom of an axial water molecule. The MgPcH(2)O molecule is not planar, the Mg atom being displaced by 0.496 (2) A from the isoindole N(4) plane towards the water O atom. MgPcH(2)O molecules related by a twofold screw axis interact via O-H...N(azamethine) hydrogen bonds, forming a polymeric chain along the b axis, while those related by inversion centres form pi-pi interacting dimers.
