Cobalt complexes of the chelating dicarboxylate ligand “esp”: a paddlewheel-type dimer and a heptanuclear coordination cluster
Reaction of CoCO3 with α,α,α′,α′-tetramethyl-1,3-benzenedipropionic acid (H2esp) in EtOH forms the paddlewheel-type dimer Co2(esp)2(EtOH)2, which hydrolyzes in MeCN to give a bowl-shaped heptacobalt coordination cluster complex; both compounds display antiferromagnetic interactions between high-spin Co(ii) ions.
