Summary
Two series of methyl and nonmethyl cobalt complexes involving closely related quadridentate Schiff bases have been investigated. The use of nonsymmetrical or substituted ligands allows the reduction potential of the cobalt centre to be gradually modified. The data thus obtained are considered in connection with the ability of the cobalt complexes to alkylate tin (IV).
