Structural and1H NMR data have been obtained for cobaloximes with the bulkiest substituted pyridines reported so far. We have isolated in noncoordinating solvents the complexes CH3Co(DH)2L (methylcobaloxime, where DH = the monoanion of dimethylglyoxime) with L = sterically hindered N-donor ligands: quinoline, 4-CH3quinoline, 2,4-(CH3)2pyridine, and 2-R-pyridine (R = CH3, OCH3, CH2CH3, CHCH2). We have found that the Co−Naxbond is very long in the structurally characterized complexes. In particular, CH3Co(DH)2(4-CH3quinoline) has a longer Co−Naxbond (2.193(3) Å) than any reported for methylcobaloximes. The main cause of the long bonds is unambiguously identified as the steric bulk of L by the fairly linear relationship found for Co−Naxdistance vs CCA (calculated cone angle, CCA, a computed measure of bulk) over an extensive series of methylcobaloximes. The linear relationship improves if L basicity (quantified by pKa) is taken into account. In anhydrous CDCl3at 25 °C, all complexes except the 2-aminopyridine adduct exhibit1H NMR spectra consistent with partial dissociation of L to form the methylcobaloxime dimer.1H NMR experiments at −20 °C allowed us to assess qualitatively the relative binding ability of L as follows: 2,4-(CH3)2pyridine > 4-CH3quinoline ≈ quinoline ≈ 2-CH3pyridine > 2-CH3Opyridine > 2-CH3CH2pyridine > 2-CH2CHpyridine. The broadness of the1H NMR signals at 25 °C suggests a similar order for the ligand exchange rate. The lack of dissociation by 2-aminopyridine is attributed to an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the NH2group and an oxime O atom. The weaker than expected binding of 2-vinylpyridine relative to the Co−Naxbond length is attributed to rotation of the 2-vinyl group required for this bulky ligand to bind to the metal center, a conclusion supported by pronounced changes in 2-vinylpyridine signals upon coordination.
