“…In order to prepare stable dioxygen binding cobalt(II) complexes, metal derivatives were immobilised on various inorganic supports. For example amine, 5 cyanide, 6,7 polypyridine, 8,9 Schiff bases, [10][11][12][13] and porphyrin 14 cobalt complexes have been incorporated in the cavities of zeolites 7,9 or mesoporous silica. 13 However, the coordination scheme of the cobalt ion is not easily controlled and the materials are usually poorly loaded.…”
