The present study describes the coordination properties of a reduced Schiff base, N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)alanine, towards cobalt(II) using potentiometric as well as spectroscopic (UV-Vis and ESI-MS) methods. The results indicate the formation of six mononuclear complexes showing high stability in aqueous solution.

The coordination properties of 2-picolinehydroxamic acid towards cobalt(II) in aqueous solution were determined by a pH-metric method and confirmed by spectroscopic (UV-Vis and ESI-MS) studies. The results show the formation of mononuclear complexes, as well as of metallacrowns (MC). All
The 3:1 condensation of 5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxaldehyde (MepyrzH) with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) gives the tripodal ligand tren(MePyrzH)3. Aerial oxidation of a solution of cobalt(II) with this ligand in the presence of base results in the isolation of the insoluble Co(tren)(MePyrz)3. This complex reacts
