Kurdziel, K. published the artcileCoordination properties of 4(5)-hydroxymethylimidazole and 4(5)-hydroxymethyl-5(4)-methylimidazole towards cobalt(II) ions, Safety of (2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol, the publication is Journal of Coordination Chemistry (2007), 60(8), 877-889, database is CAplus.
Two new complexes of imidazole alcs., 4-hydroxymethylimidazole (4-CH2OHim) and 4-hydroxymethyl-5-methylimidazole (4-CH2OH-5-CH3i.m.), with Co(II), [CoL2(H2O)2](NO3)2 were obtained. These compounds were characterized through single x-ray diffraction studies, spectroscopic (IR, far-IR, UV-visible-NIR) and magnetic measurements. The hydroxymethylimidazole ligands are bidentate, coordinating the heterocyclic ring through pyridine-like N atoms and the O atom of the hydroxymethyl group (chromophore CoN2O4). The Co(II) coordination polyhedra are distorted octahedrons, with the equatorial plane defined by the 4-CH2OHim (or 4-CH2OH-5-CH3i.m.) bidentate ligands and two H2O mols. occupying axial (trans) positions. Formation of successive Co(II) complexes with 4-CH2OH-5-CH3i.m. in aqueous solution was followed quant. by potentiometry.
Journal of Coordination Chemistry published new progress about 45533-87-7. 45533-87-7 belongs to imidazoles-derivatives, auxiliary class Imidazole,Alcohol,Imidazole, name is (2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol, and the molecular formula is C5H8N2O, Safety of (2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol.
