| Abstract: | The cobalt(II)-Schiff base complexes Co(nbsal)2] and Co(tbsal)2] nbsal=N-n-butylsalicylideneiminate and tbsal=N-tert-butysalicylideneiminate,o-OC6H4CH=NR,R+Bun and But, respectively] both have distorted tetrahedral structures, but the presence of thetert-butyl groups in Co(tbsal)2] causes much greater angular distortion, of the coordination tetrahedron. Although Co(nbsal)2] will react with nitric oxide and oxygen, Co(tbsal)2] reacts with neither and this appears to be due to the shielding of the cobalt by thetert-vutyl groups. The reactive complex Co(nbsal)2] crystallizes in the tetragonal system,a+14.244,c+5.395, Å,Z+2 and space group $P\bar 4$ . The structure was determined by the heavy-atom method, using MoKα diffractometer data, and refined by full matrix least-squares toR+0.035 for 777 reflections. The unreactive complex Co(tbsal)2] crystallizes in the orthorhombic systemPbc21,a+10.977,b+20.037,c+9.866 Å,Z+4. The structure was determined as above toR+0.051 for 1458 reflections. |
