Abstract
Steric and conformational effects on the reversible oxygenation reaction in pyridine solutions of cobalt(II) chelates with Schiff bases obtained from salicylaldehyde and 1,2-disubstituted ethylenediamines have been studied. The equilibrium and reaction rate constants have been determined by polarographic methods. The results suggest that the oxygenation reaction is hindered by folding of the chelate induced by the steric requirements of the substituents of the ethylenediamines.
