Indian Journal of Chemistry Vol. 39A, December 2000, pp. 1312-1316 Organocobalt complexes of corresponding organo derivatives (IV-VII and IX diacetylmonoxime buckled with different XIII) are given in Fig. I. diamines as 'models' for vitamin B 12 Experimental derivatives All the solvents used were of AR grade, cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate (Qualigens), I ,2-diamino K Hussai n Reddy', M Radhakrishna Reddy & K Mohana Raju t benzene and 3,4-diaminotoluene (FLUKA AG), Department of Chemistry, Sri Krishnadevaraya University, diacetylmonoxime (Spectrochem AR), iodomethane Anantapur 515 003, India (Merck), bromoethane (Merck), pyridine (Qualigens) Received 16 March 1999; revised 15 October 1999 and imidazole (Spectrochem, AR) were used in the present study. Macrocyclic chlorocobalt complexes have been synthesized using preformed li gands viz. bis(diacetyl monoxime)-1 ,2- phenylenediimine (I) and bis(diacetyl monoxime)-3 ,4-tolylene Synthesis of ligands I and I.l diimine (II). The chloro derivatives have been alkylated using In a I 00 cm3 short-necked round-bottomed flask, iodomethane and bromomethane in the presence of pyridine or I diacetyl-monoxime (3.76 g, 0.037 mol) was taken in and imidazole. The alkyl derivatives have been characterized by 3 elemental analysis, conductivity data, magnetic susceptibility methanol ( 15 cm ) and to this was added diamine measurements, electronic and infrared spectral data and they are (2 g, 0.0185 mol) in methanol and heated under reflux found to be I: I electrolytes. Various ligand fi eld parameters like for I h. The reaction mixture was cooled and Dq •Y, Dq'· and Dt have been calculated. Infrared spe<.:tra reveal the coloured compound obtained was recrystallized from 'trans effect' in these complexes. Electrochemical behaviour of these complexes has been studied by cyclic voltammetry. There has been growing interest in organocobalt complexes which might serve as 'model compounds' for coenzyme B 12. Cobalt complexes of diacetylmonoxime buckled with diamines 1 appear to mimic the properties of coenzyme B 12 better than the complexes of tetradentate Schiff base li gands, perhaps, as in the former the equatorial ligand can act I ![ as ligand of the uninegative charge and posesses pseudo symmetry as corrin. Synthesis of organocobaloxime with modified structural features continues to be a fascinating area in the chemistry of model compounds of coenzyme B 12 . Recently, Gupta and Rol reviewed the synthetic aspects of organocobaloxime chemistry. In view of the above relevance and in continuation of our investigations on axial ligational properties of cobalt complexes3.4, herein we report the synthesis, characterization, spectral and electrochemical studies Jtl R = B = Cl Vlll R = B = Cl B C H N IX R ~ CH ; B = C H N on macrocyclic 'organocobalt complexes' of IV R = CH3 ; = 5 5 3 5 5 R = CH ; B:: c H N X CH ; B: c H N bis(diacetylmonoxime)-1 ,2-phenylenediimine (I) and v 3 3 4 2 R" 3 3 4 2 VI R = c H ; B: C H N XI R = C H ·;s= C H N bis-(diacetylmonoxime)-3,4-tolylenediimine (II).
