The title compound, [Co(C(4)H(7)N(2)O(2))(2)Cl(C(8)H(9)NO(2))]·CHCl(3), was synthesized as a model complex of vitamin B(12). The Co(III) cation displays an approximately octa-hedral coordination environment, being displaced by 0.0240 (15) Å from the mean plane of the four N atoms of the equatorial plane. The O-H distances in the dimethyl-glyoximate hy-droxy groups are 0.89 (6) and 1.14 (6) Å; s...

An efficient catalytic system was developed for the acetalization and ketalization of carbonyl compounds with polyhydric alcohols under mild solvent-free conditions. In the presence of 0.1 mol% CoCl2 and 0.2 mol% dimethylglyoxime at 70 ◦C under 5 KPa pressure for 1 h, 95.3% conversion of cyclohexanone and 100% selectivity of the corresponding cyclic ketal could be obtained, where TOF reached as...

We demonstrate photocatalytic hydrogen evolution using COF photosensitizers with molecular proton reduction catalysts for the first time. With azine-linked N2-COF photosensitizer, chloro(pyridine)cobaloxime co-catalyst, and TEOA donor, H2 evolution rate of 782 μmol h-1 g-1 and TON of 54.4 has been obtained in a water/acetonitrile mixture. PXRD, solid-state spectroscopy, EM analysis, and quantum...

Aliphatic allylamines are widely used for the synthesis of diverse building blocks agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals; there is therefore considerable interest in developing versatile direct routes to aliphatic using common chemical feedstocks—olefins amines. However, examples such coupling reactions remain limited. It even more challenging achieve this goal with precise site control. Here we re...

This discussion describes a study of a particulate semiconductor assembly consisting of a photoactive ruthenium dye-sensitised metal oxide nanoparticle loaded with a synthetic cobaloxime proton reduction catalyst (CoP). The colloidal system evolves H2 during visible light illumination in pH neutral aqueous solution in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor. The ruthenium photosensitiser (...
