Abstract: | Four cobalt(III) complexes containing the polypyridine pentadentate ligands N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-N′-ethyl-2-pyridine-2-carboxamide (PaPy3H), N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-N′-[1-(2-pyridylethyl)acetamide (MePcPy3H), and N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-N′-(2-pyridylmethyl)acetamide (PcPy3H), have been synthesized. All three ligands bind the Co(III) center in the same fashion with the exception of loss of conjugation between the carboxamide moiety and the pyridine ring in the latter two. The structures of [(PaPy3)Co(OH)][(PaPy3)Co(H2O)](ClO4)3 · 3H2O (1), [(PaPy3)Co(NO2)](ClO4) · 2MeCN (2), [(MePcPy3)Co(MeCN)](ClO4)2 · 0.5MeCN (3), and [(PcPy3)Co(Cl)](ClO4) · 2MeCN (4) have been determined. These ligands with strong-field carboxamido N donor stabilize the +3 oxidation state of the Co center as demonstrated by the facile oxidation of the corresponding Co(II) complexes (prepared in situ) by H2O2, [Fe(Cp)2](BF4), or nitric oxide (NO). The Co-Namido bond distances of 1-4 lie in the narrow range of 1.853-1.898 Å. 1H NMR spectra of these complexes confirm the low-spin d6 ground states of the metal centers. |
