Abstract

Mixed valence cobalt (II, III) systems, one binuclear Co IIICoII (1) and another novel cyclic trinuclear Co IIICoII2 (2) complexes based on hydroxyl rich Schiff base ligands are synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Catalytic activity of 1 and 2 towards oxidation of 3, 5-di-tert-butylcatechol (3,5-DTBC) to its corresponding quinone (3,5-DTBQ) are investigated in MeOH and DMF. ESI-MS technique is employed to characterize the intermediates.
