Synthesis and Physico-Chemical Properties of Alcoholato Cobalt(II) Chlorides

Abstract
Alcoholato complexes of cobalt(II) chloride with the general formula, COCl2 · xROH (where R = Me, Et, Pri, Bui, Bun, Bus and But) have been synthesised by the reactions of anhydrous CoCl2 with an excess of the appropriate alcohols under reflux. Physicochemical studies such as electronic, infra-red spectra, magnetic and conductivity measurements have been carried out to throw light on the structure of these complexes. Magnetic and electronic spectra suggest an octahedral environment for cobalt(II) in the methanolato complex and tetrahedral geometry for all other complexes.
