The absorptions between 550 and 750 nm for the complexes are attributed to d--d transitions. Electrochemical properties of the complexes were examined by means of cyclic voltammetry. The anodic peak potentials were more positive in the following trend NO2 {\textgreater} Br {\textgreater} H {\textgreater} MeO and are in accordance with electronic effects of the substituents. The crystal structure of [Co(5-NO2MeSalophen)(PBu3)(CH3OH)]ClO4 and [Co(5-BrMeSalophen)(PPh3)(CH3OH)]ClO4 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. They showed six-coordinated pseudo-octahedral geometries in which equatorial planes are formed by the O(1), O(2), N(1) and N(2) atoms of the Schiff base and the axial positions were occupied by PR3 and methanol.}, author = {Kianfar, Ali Hossein and Sedighipoor, Maryam and Mohammadnezhad, Gholamhossein and G{\"o}rls, Helmar and Plass, Winfried and Roushani, Mahmoud}, year = {2017}, title = {Synthesis, spectroscopy, electrochemistry and structural determination of asymmetric cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes}, keywords = {Asymmetry;cobalt Schiff base complexes;Electrochemistry;X-ray crystallography}, pages = {313--322}, volume = {14}, number = {2}, issn = {1735-207X}, journal = {Journal of the Iranian Chemical Society}, doi = {10.1007/s13738-016-0979-7} }
