Studies on Transition Metal Complexes of Schiff Base( Ⅰ )——Oxygen-carrying Properties of Cobalt( Ⅱ )Schiff Base Complexes

Introduction The compounds that can take up and release molecular oxygen reversibly is of significance because they can be used as model compounds for the study of the reversible oxygenation mechanisms involved in the very complex natural oxygen carriers, e.g., the hemoglobins and hemocyanins, and as the means of separating molecular oxygen from the air. The dioxygen carriers extensively studied are the Cobalt
