Preparation and Characterization of the L-prolino Co(III) Complexes with the Tetradentate $N_2O_2$-type Ligands

Complexes of the type[Co(T)(L-pro)], where T is the quadridentate $N_2O_2$-type ligand, N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetate or N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine-N,N'-di-$\alpha$-butyrate, have been prepared. The complexes were separated into the two stereoisomers, $\Delta$-s-cis-[Co(T)(L-pro)] and $\Lambda$-s-cis-[Co(T)(L-pro)]. They were characterized by their proton magnetic resonance, absorption and circular dichroism spectra, elemental analyses.
