Substitution of the chloro ligands in cis-[CoCl2(2-C5H4NCO2Pri)2]: structural characterization of four mononuclear products showing both cis and trans configurations at Co(II)
摘要:
Cobalt(H) complexes obtained by the reaction of cis-[CoCl2(2-C5H4N-CO2Pri)(2)] (1) with aqueous solutions of simple alkali metal salts have been prepared and characterized. While the reaction of 1 with KPF6 affords both trans-[Co(2-C5H4N-CO2Pri)(2)(H2O)(2)](PF6)(2).2(2-C5H4N-CO2Pri) (2) and trans -[Co(2-C5H4N-CO2Pri)(2)(H2O)(2)](PF6)(2) (3), that with NaBPh4 leads to trans -[Co(2-C5H4N-CO2Pri)(2)(H2O)(2)](BPh4)(2).2H(2)O (5) exclusively. X-ray diffraction data show that the mononuclear cationic units in 2, 3 and 5 share common structural features. The reaction of 1 with KSCN leads to cis-[Co(NCS)(2)(2-C5H4N-CO2Pri)(2)] (4), whose crystal structure shows that it consists of mononuclear discrete molecules. The analogous reaction with NaN3 yields the very slightly soluble complexes [Co(N-3)(2)(2-C5H4N-CO2Pri)] (7) and [CO2(N-3)(2-C5H4N-CO2Pri)(4)(H2O)].3H(2)O (8) and that with NaOAc results in the formation of the already known complex trans-[Co(2-C5H4N-CO2)(2)(H2O)(2)] (6) as the only product. Electronic UV-Vis and NIR spectral data for 2-5, 7 and 8 and the calculated magnetic moments from NMR measurements on 2-4 and 7 are indicative of high-spin octahedral Co(H) complexes, as already reported for I of known structure.
