Reactivity of a Cobalt(III)-Hydroperoxo Complex in Electrophilic Reactions.

ABSTRACT: The reactivity of mononuclear metal-hydroperoxo adducts has fascinated researchers in many areas due to their diverse biological and catalytic processes. In this study, a mononuclear cobalt(III)-peroxo complex bearing a tetradentate macrocyclic ligand, [Co^III(Me₃-TPADP)(O₂)]⁺ (Me₃-TPADP = 3,6,9-trimethyl-3,6,9-triaza-1(2,6)-pyridinacyclodecaphane), was prepared by reacting [Co^II(Me₃-TPADP)(CH₃CN)₂]²⁺ with H₂O₂ in the presence of triethylamine. Upon protonation, the cobalt(III)-peroxo intermediate was converted into a cobalt(III)-hydroperoxo complex, [Co^III(Me₃-TPADP)(O₂H)(CH₃CN)]²⁺. The mononuclear cobalt(
