Cobalt Schiff base complexes: Synthesis characterization and catalytic application in Suzuki–Miyaura reaction

3-Methoxysalicylaldehyde was condensed with the amines 4-aminoacetophenone and 2-amino-5-bromopyridine to obtain Schiff base ligands, 1 and 2, which were coordinated to cobalt salts as complex 1 and complex 2, respectively.

Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water at low overpotentials with cobalt complexes supported by redox-active bipyridyl-NHC donors

Three cobalt complexes bearing tunable,redox-active bipyridyl N-heterocyclic carbene(NHC)-based ligands have been studied for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution from aqueous solutions.The effect of structural modifications to the ligand framework is investigated across the catalyst series,which includes a non-macrocyclic derivative(1-Co)and 16-(2-Co)and 15-(3-Co)membered macrocycles.A structure-activity relationship is demonstrated,in which the macrocyclic complexes have greater activity compared to their non-macrocyclic counterpart with the most rigid catalyst,supported by the 15-membered macrocycle,performing best overall.Indeed,3-Co catalyzes H2 evolution from aqueous pH 4 acetate buffer with a Faradaic efficiency of 97%at a low overpotential of 330 mV.Mechanistic studies are consistent with formation of a cobalt-hydride species that is subsequently protonated to evolve H2 via a heterolytic pathway.

SYNTHETIC AND CATALYTIC PROPERTY STUDIES ON SILICA SUPPORTED BIS-(ACETYLACETONATO) COBALT(Ⅱ) COMPLEXES^(**)

This paper reports mainly the preparation of silica supported acetylacetone ligands and their cobalt complexes, the characterization of their chemical structure, and the evaluation of their catalytic activity in the reaction for the preparation of ethers directly from alkanols and benzyl chloride. The results indicate that those silica supported β-diketone cobalt complexes (SACO) not only can simplify the reaction procedure of the ether preparation but also show a much higher catalytic activity in comparison with other homogeneous catalysts. In addition, SACO can be recovered and reused although their catalytic activity descend gradually as a result of the decrease in their cobalt content.

Cobalt-catalyzed photopromoted carbonylation of chloroalkanes in the presence of KI

The photopromoted carbonylation of chloroalkanes with carbon monoxide catalyzed by cobalt compounds[Co（OAc）2,CoCl2] in the presence of KI was carried out under ambient conditions.The results revealed that the catalytic activity of Co（OAc）2 was higher than that of CoCl2.A basic additive NaOAc was beneficial to the reaction.Interestingly,with NaOAc as an additive, Co（OAc）2 and CoCl2 exhibited similar catalytic activity.Preliminary work showed that the role of iodide ion was initially to form active iodoalkanes via substituting chloride ion in chloroalkanes in situ,and then,the carbonylation of iodoalkanes proceeded under irradiation.
