Monomeric, two-coordinate Mn, Fe and Co(ii) complexes featuring 2,6-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)phenyl ligands†
Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of the monomeric, two-coordinate transition-metal complexes (2,6-Mes2C6H3)2M (Mes = mesityl, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2, M = Mn, Fe, Co) are reported; (2,6-Mes2C6H3)2Co is the first structurally authenticated two-coordinate, homoleptic cobalt(II) complex featuring σ-bonded
