Features of Cobalt(II) Complexation with Azaheteracyclic Ligands in the Presence of a Monohydroxy-Substituted Derivative of the closo-Dodecaborate Anion
摘要
Cobalt(II) complexation with azaheterocyclic ligands L (L = 2,2'-bipyridyl, 1,10-phenanthroline, and 2,2'-bipyridylamine) in the presence of a monohydroxy-substituted derivative of the closo-dodecaborate anion [B12H11OH]2– has been studied. Depending on the nature of the organic ligand and the synthesis conditions, coordination compounds [CoIII(Bipy)2Cl2]2[B12H11OH], [CoII(Phen)3][B12H11OH] and [CoII(Bipy)3][B12H11OH] with the boron cluster anion as a counterion, as well as the mixed-ligand complex [CoII(BPA)2Cl2] of a known structure, have been isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction. For the first time, a redox reaction leading to the formation of a cobalt(III) complex in air has been observed for a system containing cobalt(II) and a substituted derivative of the boron cluster anion without the introduction of additional oxidizing agents.
