Bonding octahedral

Cobalt compounds have been in use for centuries, notably as pigments ( cobalt blue ) in glass and porcelain (a double silicate of cobalt and potassium) the metal itself has been produced on an industrial scale only during the twentieth century. Cobalt is relatively uncommon but widely distributed it occurs biologically in vitamin B12 (a complex of cobalt(III) in which the cobalt is bonded octahedrally to nitrogen atoms and the carbon atom of a CN group). In its ores, it is usually in combination with sulphur or arsenic, and other metals, notably copper and silver, are often present. Extraction is carried out by a process essentially similar to that used for iron, but is complicate because of the need to remove arsenic and other metals.

This is very different from sulfuric and selenic acids. It consists of hydrogen-bonded octahedral molecules Te(OH)6 in both its cubic and monoclinic crystalline forms. The acid or its salts may be prepared by oxidation of tellurium or Te02 by H202,... 

However, there are a few true titanyl examples, mostly porphyrins and related complexes that do have Ti=0 bonds. The Ti=0 bond appears to be short 1.62 A while ir bands are in the region 890 to 972 cm 1 (Raman, v = 975 in 2 M HC1) consistent with a Ti=0 double bond. Octahedral titanyl complexes, such as (Me3tacn)Cl2TiO, are readily available from Tim precursors by oxidation with dioxygen in an aprotic solvent.17 A cationic titanyl complex which is stable in aqueous media18 can be made according to... 

Whether a complex is high- or low-spin depends upon the energy separation of the t2g and eg levels. Nationally, in a fj-bonded octahedral complex, the 12 electrons supplied by the ligands are considered to occupy the aig, and eg orbitals. Occupancy of the and eg levels corresponds to the number of valence electrons of the metal ion, just as in crystal field theory. The molecular orbital model of bonding in octahedral complexes gives much the same results as crystal field theory. It is when we move to complexes with M—L TT-bonding that distinctions between the models emerge. 

Telluric acid is very different from sulfuric and selenic acids and has hydrogen-bonded octahedral molecules, Te(OH)6, in the crystal.

An approach that has hitherto not been successful is the use of enantiomerically pure chiral-at-metal bischelating self-complimcntary hydrogen bonding octahedral complexes as building blocks to form the srs net. In theory, complexes such as A-[Co(ilI)(2,2 -biimidazolato)3] should easily form the srs net because of the perfect match between the torsions angles of the...
