Synthesis and characterisation of bis(beta-ketoaminato) complexes of cobalt(II).

Condensation of 1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione with various substituted anilines affords N-aryl substituted beta-ketoamines PhC(O)CHC(CH(3))Naryl, which, when deprotonated and reacted with Co(OAc)(2).4H(2)O yields a series of bis(beta-ketoaminato)cobalt(II) complexes 1b to 6b (aryl = Ph, 1b; p-CH(3)C(6)H(4), 2b; 2,6-(CH(3))(2)C(6)H(3), 3b; 3,5-(CH(3))(2)C(6)H(3), 4b; p-CF(3)C(6)H(4), 5b; p-CH(3)OC(6)H(4), 6b). All six cobalt compounds were characterised by (1)H NMR, elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, and X-ray crystallography, indicating a uniform tetrahedral geometry in all cases. Electrochemical oxidation potentials indicate sensitivity to aryl substitution at the ortho- and para- positions, but not to meta-substitution, a conclusion supported by DFT calculations.
