    Abstract:
    The binuclear cobalt complex [Co(2)(Me(2)dtc)(5)](+) reacts with a range of nitrogen donor ligands L' or L'' to form an equimolar mixture of Co(Me(2)dtc)(3) and the mixed-ligand complexes [Co(Me(2)dtc)(2)(L')(2)](+) or [Co(Me(2)dtc)(2)(L'')](+), where (L')(2) is two monodentate ligands and (L'') is one bidentate ligand. The complexes prepared by this route contain the monodentate ligands L'=1-methyl-imidazole, 1-methyl-5-nitro-imidazole and benzimidazole, all of which coordinate to cobalt through an imidazole nitrogen atom. Symmetrical bidentate ligand complexes contain the bisimidazole L''=2,2'-bis(4,5-dimethylimidazole), the diamine L''=1,2-diaminobenzene and the pyridine donors L''=2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline. Two examples of complexes with unsymmetrical bidentate imidazole-amine donors were prepared in which L''=4-(2-aminoethyl)imidazole (histamine) and 2-aminomethylbenzimidazole. All new complexes were fully characterised, and the X-ray crystal structure of the histamine complex [Co(Me(2)dtc)(2)(hist)]ClO(4) is also reported.
