Trinuclear tris-Co(II) and trans-cobaloxime type Co(III) complexes prepared from Co(II) triflate precursor: Synthesis, structure and properties
摘要:
Three new coordination compounds, [CO3(DH)(6)]center dot 24H(2)O (I), [Co(DH)(2)Tu(2)]CF3SO3 (II) and [Co(DH)(2)Py-2]CF3SO3 (III) (where DH- = monoanion of dimethylglyoxime, Py = pyridine, Tu = thiourea), were synthesized starting from CO(CF3SO3)(2)center dot 6H(2)O as a substrate. The complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic methods (IR, UV-Vis, H-1 and C-13 NMR, MS) and magnetochemistry. Compound I is a neutral, C-3i symmetrical, trinuclear Co(II) complex with two tris-{Co2+(mu-DH)(3)} units connected to the central Co(II) ion via bridging oxygen atoms, saturating the Co(II) octahedral coordination. In the case of II and III, the complex cations have the usual trans-octahedral configuration with two DH-chelating units in the equatorial plane of the Co(III) ion and the apical coordination sites occupied by two neutral monodentate ligands (Py or Tu).
