Electronic structure of the glyoxalbis(2-hydroxyanil) (gha) ligand in [CoIII(gha)(PPh3)2]+: radical vs. non-radical states†
Abstract
The synthesis, structure and spectroscopic properties of a complex salt [CoIII(gha)(PPh3)2][CoIICl3(PPh3)]·C2H5OH (1) are reported; gha = glyoxalbis(2-hydroxyanil). This is the first single crystal X-ray structure of a (gha)2− complex with a
