Salcomine is a coordination complex derived from the salen ligand and cobalt. The complex, which is planar, and a variety of its derivatives are carriers for O2 as well as oxidation catalysts.[2]

Preparation and structure

The compound features square planar Co(II). It forms a variety of five-coordinate adducts, as is typical for complexes of d7 metals. In addition to oxygen and nitrogen donor sites provided by the salen2−, the metal typically is bound to pyridine (py) to give the complex Co(salen)(py). Such complexes bind O2 to give derivatives of the type (μ-O2)[Co(salen)py]2 and [Co(salen)py(O2)].[2]

Salcomine is commercially available. It may be easily synthesized from cobalt(II) acetate and salenH2:[3]

Applications

The 1938 report that this compound reversibly bound O2 led to intensive research on salen and related ligands for the storage or transport of oxygen.[4] Salcomine catalyzes the oxidation of 2,6-disubstituted phenols by dioxygen.[5]
