Assessing the stability of the Co(I) species of two mononuclear dichlorocobalt compounds bearing 2,2′-bipyridine and trans-2-(2′-quiolyl)methylene-3-quinuclidione via59Co NMR spectroscopy, electrochemical, and catalyzed proton electroreduction studies

The stability of the Co(I) species of two mononuclear dichlorocobalt(II) compounds bearing 2,2′-bipyridine and trans-2-(2′-quiolyl)methylene-3-quinuclidione ligands was assessed via59Co NMR spectroscopy, electrochemical, and catalyzed proton electroreduction studies.
