High nuclearity cobalt–copper and nickel–copper co-ordination complexes
Abstract
The synthesis, structures and some properties of new M–Cu complexes of pyridonate ligands have been reported (where M = Co or Ni): these are a nonanuclear complex [Co7Cu2(OH)2(chp)10(O2CMe)6] and two octanuclear complexes [M6Cu2(µ3-OH)4(mhp)2(O2CPh)10(Hmhp)4(H2O)2] (Hchp and Hmhp = 6-chloro- and 6-methyl-2-pyridone respectively).
