Summary
Binuclear NiII and CoII complexes derived from 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol and various aromatic monoamines have been prepared and investigated. The NiII complexes have Ni2LCl3 composition while the CoII complexes have Co2L2Cl2 composition, where L represents the organic ligand. The complexes are active catalysts in the oxidation of 3,5-di-t-butylcatechol (3,5-DTBC) by dioxygen, but less so than their Cu analogues. This result is attributed to the absence of antiferromagnetic coupling between the metal centres.
