The (1)H NMR spectra of semiquinalate cobalt complex have been analyzed in a wide range of temperatures. It has been established that the intramolecular exchange requires the obligatory presence of a paramagnetic structure containing non-compensated electron spin localized on the carbon atom of the ligand aromatic ring, the cobalt atom being trivalent. The presence of such a structure leads to the appearance of satellite signals in the NMR spectra because of the superfine interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
