Cobalt(II) scorpionate-like complexes obtained from in situ synthesized ligand created in [Co(0)-1-hydroxymethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazole-VOSO4-NH4SCN] system

The in situ preparation of the two cationic-anionic {[CoII(NCS)LS]n+[X]n−} X = [V6O11(CH3O)8]2−, [CoII(NCS)4]2− (1 and 2) and one neutral [CoII(NCS)2LS] (3) (LS-tris(1-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolylmethyl)amine)) complexes obtained in one pot synthesis from the system: [Co0-1-hydroxymethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazole (L)-VOSO4-NH4SCN] has been reported.
