Magnetism and DFT Interrogation of A Doubly Carboxylato Bridged Co(II) Derivative Anchored with A ‘Scorpionate’ Precursor: Potential Electrocatalyst for Heterogeneous H2 Evolution

A new doubly carboxylato bridged Co(II) dinuclear complex, [Co(bdtbpza)(NCS)]2 (1) is afforded in satisfactory yield by employing a ‘scorpionate’ type precursor, bdtbpza {bis-(3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate} and structurally characterized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction...
