Scorpionates have become well-established as ligands in coordination and<br />

organometallic chemistry, and <strong>the</strong>ir complexes have made important contributions in<br />

numerous different areas, such as modeling <strong>of</strong> metallo-enzymes and catalysis. 1<br />

In pursuit <strong>of</strong> our interest on <strong>the</strong> coordination chemistry <strong>of</strong> C-scorpionates towards<br />

several transition metals, 2 we now report <strong>the</strong> electrochemical study <strong>of</strong> our recently<br />

obtained half- or full-sandwich cobalt complexes 1-4 prepared by reaction <strong>of</strong> cobalt(II)<br />

chloride with LiSO 3 C(pz) 3 , HC(pz Ph ) 3 or OHCH 2 C(pz) 3 (pz = pyrazolyl):<br />

[Co{HC(pz) 3 }(OSO 2 OH)(OCH 3 ) 2 ] 1, [CoCl 2 {3Ph-pzH} 3 ] 2 2, [Co{3Ph-pzH} 4 ]Cl 2 3 or<br />

[Co{OHCH 2 C(pz) 3 } 2 ].[Co{OHCH 2 C(pz) 3 }(H 2 O) 3 ](Cl) 2 .2H 2 O 4.<br />

All <strong>the</strong> studies have been carried<br />

out by cyclic voltammetry (CV) at<br />

a Pt-disc electrode or controlled<br />

potential electrolysis (CPE) at a<br />

Pt-gauze electrode, in a 0.2 M<br />

Bu 4 NBF 4 /NCMe or DMSO<br />

solution.<br />

The electrochemical behaviours<br />

are discussed in terms <strong>of</strong> electron<br />

richness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Co centres and <strong>the</strong><br />

electronic properties <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

ligands.<br />
