Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A series of chromium(II) complexes containing the tripodal ligands tmpa, Me₂uns‐penp, Me₄apme and Me₆tren were prepared and investigated with regard to their reactivity towards dioxygen. It was possible to structurally characterize the complexes [Cr(Me₂uns‐penp)Cl]₂(BPh₄)₂, [Cr(Me₆tren)Cl]Cl, [Cr(Me₄apme)Cl]BPh₄ and [Cr(Me₄ampe)Cl₃]. The complexes show reactions with dioxygen, but it was not possible to characterize intermediates of these reactions. The oxidation behavior of the complexes towards organic substrates like toluene was investigated and oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde was observed.</p> </abstract>
