Abstract
SummaryThe synthesis and x-ray crystal structure oftrans-[Co(dmgH)2(Et)(1,5,6-Me3Bzm)] where dmgH=dimethylglyoximate(−1), and 1,5,6-Me3Bzm=1,5,6-trimethylbenzimidazole, is reported. The compound C19H26N6O4Co is monoclinic, space group P21/n;a=11.700(4);b=24.205(6);c=8.500(3) Å and β=101.63(3)°. D(calcd) 1.299 g cm−3; Z=4 and R=0.066 for 2359 independent reflections. Comparison of Co-N(axial ligand) bond lengths for compounds of general formulaetrans-[Co(dmgH)2(R)(L)], with L=pyridine or 1,5,6-trimethylbenzimidazole and R=CH(CN)Cl, CH2NO2, Me, Et,i-Pr, cyclo-hexyl or adamantyl is made. The Co−N(1,5,6-Me3Bzm) bond lengths of the trimethylbenzimidazole derivatives show a fairly linear relationship with the electronic parameter of the axial R group, derived from the13C-n.m.r. spectra of their pyridine analogues. The influence of steric effects on the properties of these CoIII compounds is discussed.
