Abstract

Abstract : An octahedral {Co II [(BQ-N-Cat)]2 } 0 complex was formed by ligand-centered phenolic C–O bond cleavage. The complex showed solid-state valence tautomerism that is triggered by lattice solvent molecule. Abstract : Ligand H4 L O(AP/AP) underwent ligand-centered C–O bond cleavage during a complexation reaction with Co(ii )-salt. The thus formed octahedral {Co II [(BQ-N-Cat)]2 } 0 complex showed valence tautomerization in the solid state. While the process was triggered by the presence of lattice solvent, the nature of the solvent molecule has less effect on the process.
