Two new cobaltous-porphyrin complexes, namely (?-piperazine)-bis[(meso-tetra(para-methoxyphenyl)porphyrinato)]cobalt(II) and (piperazine)[meso-tetra(para-chlorophenyl)porphyrin]cobalt(II) dichloromethane disolvate, with the formulas [{CoII(TMPP)}2(?2-pipz)] (complex 1) [CoII(TClPP)(pipz)]·2CH2Cl2 2), were used efficiently as catalysts in degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) an aqueous hydrogen p...

The title mol-ecule, [Co(C(6)H(5))(CN)(C(3)H(9)P)(3)], lies on a crystallographic mirror plane with the Co(II) ion coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal environment with one of the P atoms in the apical position. In the basal plane, the phenyl substituent is trans to the cyanide group with a C-Co-C angle which is significantly distorted from linearity.

A novel two-dimensional coordination polymer of the formula [Co(dca)2(atz)2]n () resulted from assembling trans-bis(2-amino-1,3,5-triazine)cobalt(ii) motifs by dicyanamide spacers. Variable-temperature dc and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements of show that the high-spin cobalt(ii) ions act as single ion magnets (SIMs).

Speciation studies of cobalt species, cobalt (II) and cobalt (III) have been carried out using spectrophotometric determination with the chromophoric reagent bis (5-bromosalicylaldehyde) orthophenilinediamine (BBSOPD). The methodology is direct and non extractive and is carried out in 40% ethanolic medium containing acetate buffer. The colour development is almost instantaneous and remained con...

In the title compound, [CoBr(2)(C(14)H(24)N(4))]·Br, the Co(III) ion is located on an inversion centre and possesses a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry in which four nitro-gen donors of the ligand mol-ecule are in the equatorial plane and two Br(-) ions occupy both the axial sites to give a trans isomer. The Br(- )counter- anion is also located on an inversion centre.

A surprising effect of halide substituents on reduction potentials and catalytic activity of halogenated cobalt corroles has been deduced by experimental and computational methods; the proton-activating cobalt(I) and the cobalt(II) corrole that is formed in the step during which hydrogen is formed are characterized by NMR spectroscopy.

Cobalt-mediated radical polymerisation of methyl acrylate is effected at moderate temperature by both a square planar bis(beta-ketoaminato)cobalt(II) complex in the presence of V-70 diazo radical initiator, and by a well-defined cobalt(III) alkyl derivative in the absence of a diazo complex. Polymerisation rates suggest that both reversible termination and degenerative transfer mechanisms are o...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [CoCl(2)(C(15)H(17)Cl(2)N(3)O)(4)], the Co(II) cation lies on an inversion center and has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The equatorial positions are occupied by four N atoms from four diniconazole [systematic name: (E)-(RS)-1-(2,4-dichloro-phen-yl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pent-1-en-3-ol] ligands. The axial s...

We investigated the preparation of CMB (cobalt-manganese-bromide) and CMA (cobaltmanganese-acetate) liquid catalysts as petroleum liquid catalysts by simultaneously recovering Co and Mn from spent Li-ion battery cathode material. To prepare the liquid catalysts, the total preparation process for the liquid catalysts consisted of physical pre-treatments, such as grinding and sieving, and chemica...

Four pentacoordinate Co( ii ) based single ion magnets were prepared and their structural, spectral, static dynamic magnetic properties analysed in detail.
