Abstract

AbstractThe synthesis and molecular structure of trans‐{bis[(acetato‐κO)‐(2‐(1‐aziridinyl)ethanol‐κ2N,O)]}cobalt(II) (4) and cis‐{bis[chlorido‐(2‐(1‐aziridinyl)ethanol‐κ2N,O)]}cobalt(II) (5) is reported. Both neutral chelate complexes are prepared from the corresponding CoII salt [CoX2; X = OAc (1), Cl (2)] and 2‐(1‐aziridinyl)ethanol (azolH, 3) in dry dichloromethane. A third, ionic complex, cis‐{bis[aqua‐(2‐(1‐aziridinyl)ethanol‐κ2N,O)]}cobalt(II) diacetate (6) is formed from 4 in the presence of water and could be crystallized from aqueous dichloromethane. In all cases, 2‐(1‐aziridinyl)ethanol is coordinating as bidentate chelate ligand by the nitrogen and oxygen atom of the aziridinyl and hydroxy moiety. After purification, the compounds have been fully characterized using IR spectroscopy and FAB+‐MS. The single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis revealed a distorted octahedral geometry for all complexes with either trans (4) or cis (5, 6) configuration.
