A Pentanuclear Cu/Co/Ni Complex with 2‐(Dimethylamino)ethanol – Observation of a Rare Molecular Structure Type and Its Place in General Structural Types: An Analysis of the Cambridge Structural Database

“…Also, it is known that some ligands stabilize the Co III oxidation state, and the spontaneous oxidation of the cobalt often occurs in the respective reaction systems, thus preventing the scrambling. [16] The typical example is the di- [18,19] which have the same structure both for M = Co [18] and M = Ni, [19] while the heterometallic Co/Ni complexes with the HMe 2 Ea ligand were not found. Both of these complexes possess almost regular octahedral coordination geometry around the metal center, which is typical for both cobalt and nickel.…”
