C-S bond cleavage by cobalt:: synthesis, characterization and crystal structure determination of 1,2-di-(o-salicylaldiminophenylthio)ethane and its Co(III) product with C-S bond cleaved fragments

1,2-Di-(o-salicylaldiminophenylthio)ethane reacts with Co(II) salts to form a complex with oxidative cleavage of the C-S bond, to result in the formation of a Co(III) complex of the cleaved ligands. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
