Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic characterization of {2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-[bis(2-hydroxy-ethyl)amino]ethanolato}oxochromate(V)
Abstract
A new chromium(V) complex, {2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethanolato}-oxochromate(V), formed by the ligand-displacement reaction of bis(2-ethyl-2-hydroxybutanoato)-oxochromate(V) with 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethanol, has been characterized by EPR spectroscopy; the reaction proceeded through a mixed-ligand chromium(V) intermediate.
