The use of the 2-pyridyl oxime ligands (LH) 2-pyridinealdoxime, methyl 2-pyridyl ketone oxime and phenyl 2-pyridyl ketone oxime in Co chemistry has been investigated and led to two families of compounds. The first family includes the mononuclear octahedral, low-spin complexes [CoIII(L)3], while the second family consists of the trinuclear, mixed-valent linear clusters [CoIII2CoII(L)6]X2 (X = ClO4-, PF6-). The latter are prepared by the reactions of the former with an appropriate CoII source. The structural, physical and spectroscopic properties of the complexes are described.
Graphical abstractA family of new linear, trinuclear mixed-valence CoIIICoIICoIII clusters have been synthesized using 2-pyridyloximato ligands; the mononuclear “ligand” CoIII units of the trinuclear clusters have been also prepared and characterized.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
