Exploring the Effect of Pincer Rigidity on Oxidative Addition Reactions with Cobalt(I) Complexes
{{output}}
Cobalt complexes containing the 2,6-diaminopyridine-substituted PNP pincer (iPrPNMeNP = 2,6-(iPr2PNMe)2(C5H3N)) were synthesized. A combination of solid-state structures and investigation of the cobalt(I)/(II) redox potential established a relatively rigid and... ...
