A mixed-valence [Co^II₄Co^III₂] cluster with defect disk-shaped topology.

ABSTRACT: The employment of the new Schiff base ligand 2-[(4-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)methyl]phenol (H₂L) bearing O₂N donors for the preparation of a novel Co₆ cluster is reported. The hexanuclear cobalt complex, namely, di-μ₂-acetatotetrakis{μ₂-2-[(4-chloro-2-oxidobenzylideneamino)methyl]phenolato}tetra-μ₃-methanolato-tetracobalt(II)dicobalt(III), [Co^II₄Co^III₂(C₁₄H₁₀ClNO₂)₄(CH₃COO)₂(CH₃O)₄], was obtained using Co(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O and H₂L as starting materials in MeOH under solvothermal conditions. The six metal ions are linked together by the μ₃
