Di- and Tervalent Cobalt Complexes with N-alkyl-salicylideneimines

Abstract

There have been reported a number of cobalt complexes of N-aryl-salicylideneimines, but systematic study of the cobalt complexes of most N-alkyl-salicylideneimines has not been reported. Recently we have succeeded in preparing a series of cobalt (II)1 and cocalt (III)2,3 complexes with N-alkyl-salicylideneimines. The present communication is mainly concerned with a brief account of the systematic study about the preparation and relative stability of these complex compounds.
