Binuclear cobalt(ii) complexes: synthesis, structure, characterizations and catalytic applications in acceptor-less dehydrogenation (AD) of primary alcohols into aldehydes

Abstract

In this study, three novel binuclear, distinctly defined, air-stable cobalt (II) complexes denoted by the formulas [Co(H2L1)]2(1), [Co(H2L2)]2(2) and [Co(H2L3)]2(3), are reported . Binuclear Cobalt (II) complexes (1–3) namely bis-[3,3′-bis...
