Reactions of trimethylphosphane-supported cobalt complexes with salicylaldimines - Formation and structures of cobalt compounds containing salicylaldiminato [N : O] ligands

摘要

The reactions of low-valent cobalt complexes CoMe(PMe3)(4), CoCl(PMe3)(3) and Co(PMe3)(4) with salicylaldimines are described to give tetrahedral complexes 7-12, an octahedral complex 13 and a pi-coordinated imine complex 15. The crystal structures of 13 and 15 are reported. The formation and likely mechanisms are discussed. ((c) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)
