Abstract
Cobalt(III) derivatives of two isomeric cyclic tetra-amines (hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclotetradecane—teta and tetb), are prepared by oxidation of equimolar amounts of the amine and a cobalt(II) salt, in aqueous ethanol buffered to pH∼6. The trans derivatives [Co(teta)(H2O)2]3+, [Co(teta)XY]+, (X = Y = OH, Cl, Br, NCS, NO2 , CN; X = NO2 , Y = OH; X = Cl, Y = N3 ), [Co(teta)(H2O)(NO2)]2+, and [Co(tetb)X2]+(X = Cl, CN, N3 , NO2 ) are described.
