A simple and general route to the synthesis of cobaloxime with mixed dioxime Ligands, XCo(L)(L ' )Py, L,L ' = dmgH/dpgH and chgH/dpgH; X = Cl, Br, NO2, N-3, has been described. These compounds are reported for the first time. The synthesis is confirmed by the X-ray structures of N3Co(dmgH)(dpgH)Py and N3Co(chgH)(dpgH)Py. The cis and trans effects on these complexes and on XCo(L)(2)Py (L = dmgH, chgH, dpgH; X = Cl, Br, NO2, N-3) complexes have been studied by 'H-, C-13-NMR, UV, and X-ray. For a range of X ligands, a clear trend between the H-1, C-13 chemical shifts of the equatorial and axial ligands as well as with the Co-dioxime CT band has been observed. The analysis of the C-13 values and X-ray data shows that one dioxime wing effects the other dioxime wing in the mixed dioxime complexes. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
