Synthesis and molecular structures of a pair of tris(imidazolyl)phosphine cobalt–perchlorate complexes, {[PimPri2]Co(OClO3)}[ClO4] and {[PimPri2]Co(OH2)(HOMe)(OClO3)}[ClO4]
Abstract
The cobalt–perchlorate complexes, {[PimPri2]Co(OClO3)}(ClO4) and {[PimPri2]Co(OH2)(HOMe)(OClO3)}(ClO4), have been synthesized via the reaction of tris[2-(1,4-diisopropylimidazolyl)]phosphine [PimPri2] with Co(ClO4)2·6H2O; the isolation of these species, as opposed to a
