Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Bis(2,2''''-bpy)bis(azide)cobalt(III) nitrate dihydrate

1 INTRODUCTION The research on azide-bridged transition metal complexes has attracted great interest in the past decade due to their magnetic properties and potential applications[1~2]. A number of azide- bridged complexes with the end-to-end coordination mode affording antiferromagnetic exchange interactions and the end-on coordination mode showing ferromagnetic exchange interactions have been reported in recent years[3]. In the synthesis of azide bridged cobalt complexes, it was found …     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Bis(2,2'-bpy)bis(azide)cobalt(III) nitrate dihydrate

The title complex [CoIII(2, 2?-bpy)2(N3)2]@NO3@2H2O was obtained by an auto-oxidization reaction of cobalt nitrate with 2, 2?-bpy and sodium azide in aqueous solution at room temperature, and violet single crystals were prepared in ethanol solution. The structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. The crystal is of triclinic, space group P ī with a = 8.285(4), b = 11.990(8), c = 12.596(7) ?, ( = 86.630(3), ( = 86.280(5), ( = 71.130(10)°, C20H20CoN11O5, Mr = 553.40, Z = 2, V = 1180.6(12) ?3, F(000) = 568, Dc = 1.557 g/cm3, ( = 0.784 mm-1, R = 0.0403 and wR = 0.1008. The title complex consists of a [CoⅢ(2, 2?-bpy)2(N3)2]+ cation, a NO3- anion and two lattice water molecules. The center CoⅢ ion coordinated by two chelating 2, 2?-bpy ligands and two terminal azide groups with a CoN6 coordination environment exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry.     

Cyanomethyl cyclopentadienyl complexes of cobalt

The reactions of the complexes CpCo(CO)L (Cp = cyclopentadienyl, L = CO, PPh₃) with ClCH₂CN have been investigated. Chloroacetonitrile reacts with CpCo(CO)PPh₃ to give the cationic complex [CpCo(CH₂CN)(CNCH₂Cl)PPh₃]⁺, which has been isolated and characterized. Compounds of the type [CpCo(CH₂CN)(bipy)]⁺ BPh₄^? and CpCo(CH₂CN)PPh₃CN have been obtained by substitution reactions.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Trans-diaquabis(hexamethylenetetramine-N)bis(isothiocyanato)cobalt(Ⅱ) trans-tetraaquabis(isothiocyanato)cobalt(Ⅱ) dihydrate

1 INTRODUCTION Supramolecular compounds assembled by coordination covalent bonding or hydrogen bonding are of considerable interest due to their potential applications in developing new materials with magnetic, optical and catalytic properties[1]. One of the synthesis methods used to construct the functional compounds is that octahedral metal ion connects to polydentate ligand such as 4, 4?bipyridine, pyrazine and so on to form multi-dimensional supramolecular polymer[2].

Synthesis reactivity and electrochemical properties of substituted cyclopentadienyl cobalt (III) complexes

Cyclopentadienyl cobalt complexes (η⁵‐C₅H₄R) CoLI₂ [L = CO,R=‐COOCH₂CH=CH₂ (3); L=PPh₃, R=‐COOCH₂‐CH=CH₂ (6); L=P(p‐C₆H₄O₃)₃, R = ‐COOC(CH₃) = CH₂ (7), ‐COOCH₂C₆H₅ (8), ‐COOCH₂CH = CH₂ (9)] were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, ¹H NMR, ER and UV‐vis spectra. The reaction of complexes (η⁵‐C₅H₄R)CoLI₂ [L= CO, R= ‐COOC(CH₃) = CH₂ (1), ‐COOCH₂C₆H₅(2); L=PPh₃, R=‐COOC (CH₃) = CH₂ (4), ‐COOCH₂C₆H₅ (5)] with Na‐Hg resulted in the formation of their corresponding substituted cobaltocene (η⁵‐C₅H₄R)₂ Co[R=‐COOC(CH₃) = CH₂ (10), ‐COOCH₂C₆H₅ (11)]. The electrochemical properties of these complexes 1–11 were studied by cyclic voltammetry. It was found that as the ligand (L) of the cobalt (III) complexes changing from CO to PPh₃ and P(p‐tolyl)₃, their oxidation potentials increased gradually. The cyclic voltammetry of α,α′‐substituted cobaltocene showed reversible oxidation of one electron process.

Synthesis and crystal structure of cyclopentadienyl(1,4-dimethyl-1,4-dibora-2,5-cyclohexadiene)cobalt

The synthesis of the organometallic derivative cyclopentadienyl(1,4-dimethyl-1,4-diboracyclohexa-2,5-diene)cobalt is described. This complex, [(CH₃BC₄H₄BCH₃)Co(η-C₅H₅)], forms red-oranged monoclinic crystals, space group P2₁/a with Z = 4 in a unit cell of dimensions a 11.362(7), b, 7.467(7), c 13.290(12) Å, β 103.76(6)°. The structure has been elucidated by heavy-atom methods from 1732 reflections (I > 2σ(I)) measured on a Syntex P2₁ four-circle diffractometer and refined to R = 0.055. In the coordination complex all six atoms of the cyclohexadiene ring are within bonding distance of the metal atom, but the two boron atoms bend away from the metal atom, and the ring elongates slightly in the B---B direction. As a standard of comparison the known geometry of the free ligand [1,4-difluoro-1,4-dibora-2,3,5,6-tetramethylcyclohexa-2,5-diene] is used. The terminal methyl groups on the boron atoms, by contrast, bend slightly back towards the metal atom. The cyclopentadienyl ring remains planar but is positionally disordered.     

Structural features of green cobalt(III) hydroxide

Emission Mössbauer and X-ray absorption XANES/EXAFS spectroscopic techniques are applied to elucidate the structural features of green cobalt(III) hydroxide. A comparative analysis of structurally characterized cobalt(II) and cobalt(III) oxo-compounds shows that the parameters of the local environment of cobalt atoms in green cobalt(III) hydroxide differ substantially from those of its analogues.     

Synthesis and structures of binuclear half-sandwich cobalt (III) ortho-carboranedithiolato complexes with silyl-bridged bis(cyclopentadienyl) ligands

Five binuclear half-sandwich cobalt complexes, [(η⁵-C₅H₄)Co(CO)I₂]₂SiMe₂ (3), [(η⁵-C₅H₄)Co(S₂C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]₂SiMe₂ (4), [(η⁵-C₅H₄)]₂Co₂(μ₂-S₂C₂B₁₀H₁₀)SiMe₂ (5), [(η⁵-C₅H₃)CoI₂](μ-I)[(η⁵-C₅H₃)Co(CO)I](SiMe₂)₂ (8), [(η⁵-C₅H₃)Co(S₂C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]₂(SiMe₂)₂ (9), were successfully synthesized in moderate yield by the reactions of corresponding ligands, (C₅H₅)₂SiMe₂ (1) and (C₅H₄)₂(SiMe₂)₂ (6), respectively. The molecular structures of 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9 was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis, which distinctly depict various molecular structures containing the Cp rings and the metal centers with halide or 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane-1,2-dithiolato ligands. For the (η⁵-C₅H₄)₂SiMe₂ complexes, coordination of the fragments CpCo favors a exo conformation. With the rigid structure of the di-bridged ligand (C₅H₄)₂(SiMe₂)₂, only cis isomers of the corresponding (η⁵-C₅H₃)₂(Si₂Me₂)₂ complexes are formed. All the complexes have been well characterized by elemental analysis, NMR and IR spectra.
