Abstract: | The nature of bonding in a series of complexes [CoL2] n + [L = the tripodal ligand tris(2-pyridyl)methane or tris(2-pyridyl)phosphine, n = 1–3] has been investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption and electronic spectroscopy and density functional theory ab initio calculations. The structural studies reveal that the cobalt ions each exist in a distorted octahedral geometry defined by six N-donor atoms; the cations are all centrosymmetric. In both series of complexes the bond lengths CoI–N ≈ CoII–N > CoIII–N. Data from the various studies indicate that the ‘cobalt(I)’ state of the complex [Co{X(C5H4N-2)3}2 ]+ (X = CH or P) is better described by the d8 cobalt(I)–ligand formulation rather than as d7 cobalt(II)–ligand radical. |
