Transition metal compounds of chlorophenols: synthesis, characterization and single-crystal X-ray structures of (N,N,N ',N '-tetramethylethylenediamine) bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenolato)cobalt(II) and bis(N-methylimidazole) bis(2,6-dichlorophenolato)copp

摘要

The single-crystal X-ray structures of a cobalt(II) compound and of; a copper(II) compound with chlorophenolates as anions show that the aromatic chlorides participate in the coordination of the metal ion. The respective chromophores Co[N2cisO2transCl2cis] and Cu[N2transO2transCl2trans] have distorted octahedral geometries in agreement with their ligand-field spectra. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
