Formation and degradation of an oxalato and peroxo bridged dicobalt bisdien dioxygen complex: a binuclear complex as host for the activation of two co-ordinated guests
Abstract
The dioxygen complex of the dicobalt bisdien complex co-ordinates with and oxidizes a bridging oxalato group, thus providing the first example of a redox reaction between two co-ordinated ligands within the cavity of a binuclear macrocyclic complex.
