Complexation of [<i>N,N</i>′‐Bis(salicylidene)‐ethylenediiminato]cobalt(<scp>III</scp>)⁺ by Anilines in Dimethylformamide

Abstract

Possible intermediates in the oxygenation of anilines 1 in the presence of complexes such as 2 are represented by adducts of these components. The formation constants for these complexes (single and double exchange of axial dmf ligands by 1) were determined quantitatively by cyclic voltammetry and by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
