Physical Data: dark brown-black solids; usually stable up to 200 °C.
Solubility: sol most organic solvents, e.g. benzene, methanol, THF, dichloromethane.
Preparative Methods: RCoIII(salophen) complexes have been prepared in the same manner as for the corresponding CoIII(salen) and CoIII(dmgH)2 complexes, and they undergo similar reactions (see Bis(dimethylglyoximato)(methyl)(pyridine)cobalt(III) and Cobalt Salen Complexes). The formation of organoCoIII(salophen) complexes can be accomplished by reacting CoI(salophen) or CoII(salophen) with electrophiles or radicals, respectively.1 The supernucleophilic NaCoI(salophen) complex reacts with a variety of alkyl halides2 and acyl halides3 to form RCoIII(salophen) species.
Handling, Storage, and Precautions: often light- and air-sensitive and should be stored in tinted bottles.
