文摘A novel cobalt complex,[Co2（bptc）（bix）1.5]（1,H4bptc=3,3＇,4,4＇-biphenyltetra-carboxylic acid,bix = 1,4-bis（imidazol-1-ylmethyl）benzene）,has been hydrothermally prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy,elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The crystal is of triclinic system,space group P1 with a=10.770（7）,b=12.245（8）,c=13.514（9）,α=102.829（8）,β=107.734（8）,γ=98.833（9）°,C37H27N6O8Co2,Mr=801.51,V=1607.5（18）3,Dc=1.656g/cm3,F（000）=818,μ=1.100mm-1,Z=2,the final R = 0.0694 and wR = 0.1543 for 3034 observed reflections（I2σ（I））.In the title complex,the two Co（Ⅱ） ions are in different coordination environments with distorted octahedral and trigonal bipyramidal geometries,respectively.The Co atoms are linked together through hexadentate bptc ligands,giving rise to 2D layers which are bridged by the bix ligands into a 3-D supramolecular network.Magnetic susceptibilities of 1 reveal weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the adjacent Co（Ⅱ） ions.

文摘A new polymeric cobalt complex [Co(-male)(py)(H2O)]n (male = maleate; py = pyridine) 1 was prepared by cobalt chloride hexahydrate with disodium maleate and pyridine in an alcohol-aqueous solution. Single-crystal X-ray analysis has revealed that 1 crystallizes in the orthor- hombic system, space group Pnma with a = 18.001(1), b = 7.6001(6), c = 7.4731(6) ? V = 1022.4(1) 3, Z = 4, C9H9CoNO5, Mr = 270.10, Dc = 1.755 g/cm3, F(000) = 548, m(MoK? = 1.683 mm-1, S = 1.002, the final R = 0.0280 and wR = 0.0746 for 883 observed reflections with I > 2s(I). The structure analysis shows an approximate octahedral coordination environment of metal center. The Co(II) ions are bridged by maleic anions in a rare tetradentate coordination fashion with a syn-anti coplanar con- formation of the carboxyl group, forming a two-dimensional corrugated 2-D structure which is further attached into a three-dimensional framework via non-classical CH…O interactions between adjacent layers.

文摘The transition metal-catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines is one of the attractive and important strategies for the construction of C=N bonds from the perspective of environmental friendliness and economy.Herein,we report the synthesis of four novel phosphine-free cobalt(II)complexes(Co-1—Co-4)with N,O-bidentate ligands incorporating N-oxide units and their catalytic activity in acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of benzylic alcohols and aryl amines.X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the central cobalt atoms in three of the cobalt complexes(Co-1,Co-2,Co-4)were six-coordinated and adopted an octahedral geometry configuration.Catalytic evaluation of cobalt complexes demonstrated that Co-4 exhibited higher activity than the other three cobalt complexes.This system could provide a series of corresponding imine products with good functional groups compatibility and high yields.Especially,the use of phosphine-free and inexpensive cobalt complexes,along with readily accessible N,O-bidentate ligands featuring N-oxide moieties,offers significant advantages for this reaction.

文摘A nonsymmetrical PNN pincer ligand[6-(^(t)Bu_(2)PNH)C_(5)H_(4)N-2-(3-Mes)C_(3)H_(2)N_(2)]and its corresponding cobalt-N_(2)complex were synthesized and characterized.By the stoichiometric reaction of the PNN ligand lithium salt with CoCl_(2),the complex 3,(PNN)CoCl,was obtained.Then,reduction of 3 with NaBHEt3under a dinitrogen atmosphere yielded complex 5,(PNN)Co(Ⅰ)(η^(1)-N_(2)).Single-crystal X-ray analysis,IR spectrum,and DFT calculations revealed that the dinitrogen in 5 was only weakly reduced by the cobalt center.The reactions of 5 with carbon monoxide and 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide gave carbonyl and isocyanide complexes 6 and 7 with the release of N_(2),respectively.Furthermore,these cobalt complexes,especially complex 5,demonstrated the capacity to convert dinitrogen to N(TMS)_(3)with moderate efficiency.

文摘This work reports on the synthesis and characterization of a series of Schiff-base cobalt(III)complexes 1〜4 that exhibit an obvious catalytic activity for hydrogen production in aqueous solution using fluorescein(FL)and triethanolamine(TEOA)as photosensitizer and electron donor,respectively.The complexes display the capability of splitting of water for H2 evolution.Under optimized conditions,complex 3 shows better properties for photocatalysis,25 mg of which can release 152.3μmol of H_(2) after irradiation for 3 h.The mechanism for light-driven H_(2) production was explored by experiments and density functional theory(DFT).Meanwhile,the reason of releasing hydrogen was explained theoretically in detail.The research results will help to understand the interaction of cobalt complexes with the photosensitizer and design new photocatalysis for the future.

文摘A cobalt（11） complex containing mixed-ligands of 1,10-phenathroline（phen） and glycollic acid（GA）.｜Co（GA）_2（phen）｜ was synthesized and its structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction.The interaction of the complex with DNA was investigated by electronic absorption spectra and electrochemical methods.Electronic absorption spectrum experiments showed that after interaction with DNA.the characteristic absorption peaks of ｜Co（GA）_2（phen）｜ underwent hypochromic effect as well as redshift. Also,the binding strength of 3.8×10~4L/mol was estimated by titration method.Electrochemical assays revealed that the redox peak currents of the complex decreased obviously accompanied by a positive shift of the formal potential after association with DNA.All these results revealed that the synthesized cobalt complex bound with DNA via an intercalation mode.
文摘The title nickel complex I and cobalt complex II were obtained separately from the direct reaction of D-（＋）-leucinol with Ni（II） chloride and L-（-）-leucinol with Co（II） acetate tetra- hydrate in anhydrous methanol. The crystal structures of I and II were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and further characterized by elemental analysis and IR. For I： [Ni（C18H45N3O3）]Cl2, orthorhombic, P212121, a = 11.2807（9）, b = 14.7115（11）, c = 16.3580（13） A, V = 2714.7（4） A3, Z = 4, Pcalcd = 1.177 Mg/m3, the final R = 0.0407, and 16539 reflections observed with I 〉 2σ（/）; For II： [Co（C45HI08N6015）], trigonal, R3：H, a = 23.981（3）, b =23.981（3）, c = 10.8925（15） A, γ = 120°, V = 5425.1（14） A3, Z = 3, Pcalcd = 1.002 Mg/m3, the final R = 0.0625 for 16556 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. The complexes were then used to catalyze the Henry reaction and obtained good catalytic results. The catalytic activity of the complexes was determined by IH NMR. And research is going towards the application to other organic reactions such as cyanosilylation reaction.

文摘Cobait（Ⅱ） nitrate reacted with 1,10-phenanthroline （phen） and 5-sulfosaiicylic acid （H3ssal） to yield the cobait（Ⅰ） complex [Co（phen）2（H2O）2]（Hssal）o4H2O （1） and the reaction of 1 with copper acetate led to a novel complex [Co（phen）（H2O）4][Cu2（ssal）2（phen）2]·5H2O （2）. These two complexes were cationanion species and the cationic motif [Co（phen）2（H2O）2]^2＋of 1 could be converted to [Co（phen）（H2O）4]^2＋ in the formation process of new anion [Cu2（phen）2（ssal）2]^2- of 2. In both complexes abundant hydrogen bonds construct different supramolecular architectures, thus the conversion reaction can provide a new path to create novel supramolecular network.
