Spin State of the pH-Sensitive Cobalt(II) Complex with the Bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine-Based Ligand
摘要
New cobalt(II) complex [Co(L)2](ClO4)2 is synthesized by the reaction of 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (L) containing capable of deprotonating hydroxy groups with cobalt(II) perchlorate hexahydrate in deuterated methanol in a tube for NMR spectroscopy. A possibility of the new complex to undergo in situ reversible deprotonation under the action of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene is demonstrated. As found by the approach based on an analysis of changing chemical shifts in the 1H NMR spectra with temperature, the synthesized complex exists in the high-spin state both before and after complete deprotonation in a temperature range of 200–325 K. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) data of the completely deprotonated complex [Co(L-2H)2](DBU+H)2 (CIF file CCDC no. 2448321) indicate that the high-spin state of the complex is retained in the crystal as well.
