Part One: Epr, Thermodynamic, and Hydrogen Bonding Studies of Cobalt Dioxygen Complexes and Part Two: Structural, Spectral, and Magnetic Properties of a Copper(ii) Bimetallomer

In Part One, studies have been described which correlate the major steps involved in the process of binding dioxygen to cobalt(II) Schiff base complexes. The enthalpies of base binding to the complex Co(4,6-CH(,3)Osal-4-CF(,3)oph) were determined for the bases piperidine, 1-methylimidazole, pyridine, and tetrahydrothiophene. The enthalpies were fit to the E and C correlation, allowing E(,A) and C(,A) parameters to be calculated for Co(4,6-CH(,3)Osal-4-CF(,3)oph).
