Reported herein is the synthesis and characterization of a series of mono- and bis-alkynyl CoIII(TIM) complexes, where TIM is 2,3,9,10-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-tetraene. Thetrans-[Co(TIM)(C2Ar)Cl]+type complexes (Ar = phenyl (Ph,1a), naphthalene (Np,1b), and -C6F5(1c)) were prepared by the addition of HC2Ar totrans-[Co(TIM)Cl2]PF6in the presence of Et3N. Treatment of the mono-alkynyl complexes with AgOTf in MeCN resulted in thetrans-[Co(TIM)(C2Ar)(NCMe)](OTf)2complexes (Ar = Ph (2a), Np (2b), and -C6F5(2c)). Complexes2aand2breact with the respective HC2Ar ligand in the presence of Et3N to afford the symmetrical bis-alkynyl complexestrans-[Co(TIM)(C2Ar)2]+(Ar = Ph (3a) and Np (3b)).trans-[Co(TIM)(C2C6F5)2]+(3c) was obtained directly from the prolonged reaction oftrans-[Co(TIM)Cl2]PF6with HC2C6F5. Furthermore, the addition of HC2Ph to2cin the presence of a weak base yielded the unsymmetrical bis-alkynyl complextrans-[Co(TIM)(C2C6F5)(C2Ph)]OTf (4). Molecular structures of complexes1a/b,2a/b, [3a]PF6,3b, and4were established through single crystal X-ray diffraction. The absorption spectra for1–4displayd–dbands between 380 and 470 nm. Complexes1b–3bexhibited Np-based fluorescence. Electrochemical studies revealed that all complexes display an irreversible reduction characteristic of the CoIIIcenter, as well as up to two irreversible reduction(s) localized on the TIM macrocycle.
