Pecak, J., Käfer, M., Fleissner, S., Artner, W., & Kirchner, K. (2022). Synthesis and characterization of cobalt SCS pincer complexes. Monatshefte Für Chemie - Chemical Monthly, 153(7–8), 545–549. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00706-022-02949-1
The synthesis and characterization of two Co(II) complexes stabilized by a tridentate SCS pincer ligand are described. Paramagnetic [Co(κ3-SCSCH2-Et)2] and [Co(κ3-SCSCH2-tBu)(κ2-SCSCH2-tBu)] were obtained via transmetalation protocol from CoBr2 and S(C-Br)SCH2-R (R = Et, tBu). Oxidation of the latter with [Cp2Fe]PF6 affords the diamagnetic 18 VE complex [Co(κ3-SCSCH2-tBu)2]PF6. X-ray structures and DFT calculations are presented.
