A mixed-valence complex of cobalt based on 3-methoxysalicylaldoxime.
A new tetranuclear mixed-valence cobalt complex, namely di-μ2-azido-diazidodiethanolbis{μ2-2-[(hydroxyimino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenolato}bis{μ3-6-methoxy-2-[(oxidoimino)methyl]phenolato}dicobalt(II)dicobalt(III) ethanol disolvate, [Co(II)2Co(III)2(C8H7NO3)2(C8H8NO3)2(N3)4(C2H5OH)2]·2C2H5OH, has been synthesized by the reaction of Co(OAc)2·4H2O (OAc is acetate) with 3-methoxysalicylaldoxime (H2mosao) in an ethanol solution. In the complex, the four Co cations all display distorted octahedral coordination environments and they are bridged by two κ(2),κ(1),κ(1);μ3-mosao(2-) ligands, two κ(2),κ(2);μ2-Hmosao(-) ligands and two μ2-N3(-) anions to form a tetranuclear [Co4N4O4] cluster. Adjacent clusters are connected through weak C-H···N and C-H···O interactions, resulting in a two-dimensional supramolecular network parallel to the ac plane. The magnetic properties of the complex have also been studied.
