Abstract

By the interaction of anhydrous CoBr2 or CoBr2·2THF with different sodium aryloxides, a new series of complexes of general formula Na2[Co(OAr)4]·nTHF (OAr =o-nitro,o-chloro,o-bromo,m-chloro,p-bromo, 2,4-dichloro, 2,6-dichloro, or 2,4-dimethylphenoxide;n = 1, 3, 4 or 5) were prepared and characterized by physicochemical means. The electronic spectra and magnetic measurements suggest a tetrahedral geometry for cobalt(II). Heating the complexes led to reversible loss of THF with an accompanying colour change.
