Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactivity of a New Mononuclear Benzyl−Cobalt Complex Containing Mixed Tridentate Imino−Oxime and Diamine Ligands
摘要:
The complex [C6H5CH2Co(L)(LR)]ClO4 (3), where L = 2-((2-pyridylethyl)imino)-3-butanone oximato and LR = 2-((2-pyridylethyl)amino)-3-aminobutane has been prepared by reduction, with NaBH4 of the complex [Co-III(L)(2)]ClO4, followed by addition of C6H5CH2Cl. The compounds was characterized in the solid state by X-ray analysis. The complex undergoes Co-C homolytic cleavage under acidic conditions, giving dibenzyl under a nitrogen atmosphere and benzaldehyde in the presence of air.
