Two series of complexes of the type [CoIII{(naph) 2dien}(amine)]BPh4 {(naph)2dien = bis-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldimine)-N-diethylenetriamine dianion, and amine = piperidine (pprdn) (1), pyrrolidine (prldn) (2), pyridine (py) (3), N-methylimidazole (N-MeIm) (4)}, and [CoIII{(naph) 2dpt}(amine)]BPh4 {(naph)2dpt = bis-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldimine)-N-dipropylenetriamine dianion, and amine = piperidine (pprdn) (5), 3-methylpyridine (3-Mepy) (6)} have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of (2) and (6) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The redox potentials of the central cobalt ion show a relatively good correlation with the σ-donor ability of the axial ligands. The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of these complexes are also influenced by the mutual steric hindrance between the pentadentate Schiff base and the ancillary ligands.
