Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of a series of cobalt complexes featuring a pincer bis(carbene) ligand of the meta-phenylene-bridged bis-N-heterocyclic carbene (^ArCCC, Ar = 2,6-diispropylphenyl or mesityl) are reported. Cleavage of the aryl C-H bond of the ligand was achieved in a one-pot metalation procedure using Co(N(SiMe₃)₂)₂(py)₂, an equivalent of exogenous base, and trityl chloride to form the (^DIPPCCC)CoCl₂py complex. This species could be reduced to the Co(ii) and Co(i)-N₂ molecules with the appropriate equivalents of reductant. Subsequent generation of (^MesCCC)Co^I-III derivatives with the mesityl ligand proceeded in good yields. A suite of characterization techniques and the interconversion between all three oxidation states of the cobalt complexes is described.
