Chloro-cobalt complexes with pyridyl-ethyl-derived di-aza-cyclo-alkanes.

ABSTRACT: Syntheses are described for the blue/purple complexes of cobalt(II) chloride with the tetra-dentate ligands 1,4-bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]piperazine (Ppz), 1,4-bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]homopiperazine (Phpz), trans-2,5-dimethyl-1,4-bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]piperazine (Pdmpz) and tridentate 4-methyl-1-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]homopiperazine (Pmhpz). The CoCl₂ complexes with Ppz, namely, {μ-1,4-bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]piperazine}bis-[di-chlorido-cobalt(II)], [Co₂Cl₄(C₁₈H₂₄N₄)] or Co₂(Ppz)Cl₄, and Pdmpz (structure not reported as X-ray quality crystals were not obtained), are shown to be dinuclear, with the ligands bridging the two tetra-hedrally coordinated CoCl₂ units.
