Synthesis and Analysis of the Structure of a Trinuclear Complex of Cobalt(II) Benzoate with 1,4-Diaza-1,3-Butadiene Ligand Mes-DAD
摘要
Abstract
Molecular trinuclear cobalt(II) complex [Co3(bz)6(Mes-DAD)2]·2MeCN (I) is obtained by the interaction of cobalt(II) acetate, benzoic acid (Hbz), and N,N′-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene (Mes-DAD) in absolute acetonitrile. The crystal structure of I is determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (CCDC No. 2423405): benzoate anions act as bridges forming a linear metal core, 1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene ligands are chelated to terminal cobalt atoms. The phase purity of I is confirmed by the powder X-ray diffraction analysis.
