Cobalt(II) complexes of bulky N,NЈ-diarylformamidinate Noxide ligands were synthesized and structurally characterized. The cobalt(II) bis(chelates) are square-planar (low spin) in the solid state, according to XRD and magnetic measurements (μ eff = 1.8 to 2.1 μ B ), but show square-planar (low spin) to tetrahedral (high spin: μ eff = 3.5 to 4.7 μ B ) isomeriza-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
