Summary
The complexes Co(BBP)Cl2, Co(BBP)2SO4·H2O, Co(BBP)2(NO3)2·H2O, Co(BBP)2(ClO4)2 and Co(BBP−H)2· 2H2O, where BBP is 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2′-yl) pyridine, were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, electrical conductance, i.r. and electronic spectra. The electrochemical behaviour of the complexes was recorded and the X-ray crystal structure of Co(BBP)Cl2(MeOH)2 was determined. The geometry about cobalt is a distorted octahedron.
