Syntheses,structures, and spectroscopic properties of copper(II) and cobalt(III) complexes containing 1,4,7-tribenzyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand

Three new complexes [CuL(N₃)₂] (1), [CuL(SCN)₂] (2), and [CoL(SCN)₃] (3) (L?=?1,4,7-tribenzyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with unit cell parameters a?=?14.105(7), b?=?8.999(5), c?=?21.603(11)?Å, β?=?100.470(7)°. While 2 crystallizes in triclinic space group P-1 with unit cell parameters a?=?9.6380(16), b?=?10.6993(18), c?=?15.798(3)?Å, α?=?106.636(3), γ?=?116.478(3)°. Complex 3 crystallizes in trigonal space group P–3c1 with unit cell parameters a?=?14.744(3), b?=?14.744(3), c?=?16.098(4)?Å, γ?=?120°. Elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis spectra of complexes 1–3 and ESR spectra of complexes 1–2 were also determined.     

Bis(2, 2, 2-trichloroethoxy)cobalt(II) and chloro(2, 2, 2-trichloroethoxy) cobalt(II): synthesis and coordination chemistry

Summary Bis(2, 2, 2-trichloroethoxy) cobalt(II) and chloro(2, 2, 2-trichloroethoxy)cobalt(II) [Co(OCH₂CCl₃)₂·L] and [CoCl(OCH₂CCl₃)·L], derivatives (L=tetrahydrofuran, dioxan, triphenylarsine oxide, or pyridine) have been synthesised and characterized. They have tetrahedral geometry both in solution and in the solid state.
