Abstract
The synthesis and electrochemistry of half-sandwich type of Co(III) complexes [(C 5Me 5)Co(bidentate)(CH 3CN)](BF 4) 2 {bidentate = dppe (1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane), dppp (1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane), bpy (2,2′-bipyridine), en (ethylenediamine)) are reported. Cyclic voltammograms of [(C 5Me 5)Co(bidentate)(CH 3CN)](BF 4) 2 in CH 3CN s showed two redox couples assignable to Co(II)/Co(III) and Co(I)/Co(II). The Co(I) complex having C 5Me 5 and dppe was also prepared. Two redox couples of this Co(I) complex, (C 5Me 5)Co(dppe), in CH 3CN coincided with those of [(C 5Me 5)Co(dppe)(CH 3CN)](BF 4) 2 in spite of the structural change around the metal center.
