Abstract
The synthesis and structures of a dicobalt(
ii
) complex and an unusual organometallic dicobalt(
iii
) complex of the triazolate-containing Schiff-base macrocyclic ligand L
2−
are presented.
Two different dinuclear cobalt complexes of a triazolate-containing Schiff-base macrocycle have been prepared. The dinuclear cobalt(
ii
) complex readily reacts with nitromethane in air to form a dinuclear cobalt(
iii
) complex with two Co-C nitromethyl bonds.
