The synthesis and characterization of four new Co(II) tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolates with 3-and 4-methylpyridine are reported. Mononuclear complexes have been obtained in reactions with bimetallic [Co{l-SSi(O t Bu) 3 }-{SSi(O t Bu) 3 }(NH 3 )] 2 as a Co(II) substrate. The new compounds have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure determination, UV-vis and FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The complexes are tetraand penta-coordinated with CoN 2 S 2 and CoNO 2 S 2 cores, respectively.
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.
