Salen-type ligands comprised of ethylenediamine or 1,2-cyclohexenediamine, along with an salicylaldehyde bearing a methyl substituent on its 3-position and a −[CR(CH2CH2CH2N+Bu3)2] (R = H or Me) on its 5-position, unexpectedly afford cobalt(III) complexes with uncoordinated imines. In these complexe...
