Popis: Cobalt(III) complexes containing an optically active 14-membered cyclic tetraamine (R,R-Me6[14]aneN4, 7(R), 14(R)-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) and a bidentate ligand (glycinato, S-alaninato, or oxalato), in which the tetraamine takes the folded cis-type configuration, were prepared and characterized by elementary analyses, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Electronic absorption and 59Co NMR spectroscopies indicate that stereochemical modification of the 14-membered cyclic ligand with C-methyl groups causes an unusual decrease in the ligand field strength of the complex. Rapid dissociation of the chelated alaninato ligand from the cobalt(III) complex, which is generally inert, was observed for the [Co(S-alaninato)(R,R-Me6[14]aneN4)]2+ complex system. The dependence of the dissociation of the alaninato chelate on the ligand field strength is strongly suggested.
