Abstract
Abstract Two mononuclear cobalt(III) complexes, [Co(L1)(N3)2(deen)] (1) and [Co(L2)(N3)2(DMSO)] (2), where HL1 {2-(2-(diethylamino)ethyliminomethyl)-4-bromophenol} and HL2 {2-(2-(diethylamino)ethyliminomethyl)-6-methoxyphenol} are tridentate and tetradentate Schiff bases, respectively and deen is a bidentate chelating ligand, N,N-diethyl-1,2-diaminoethane, were prepared and characterized by elemental and spectral analysis. X-ray crystal structure determination confirmed their structures. Both complexes are meridional isomers. The solid state structures show the participation of the organic ligands in concurrent conventional and unconventional C H⋯π interactions along with hydrogen bonding. The energetic features of these interactions have also been studied by means of DFT calculations.
