Notes:
The mononuclear η1-dioxygen complex [Co(CN)5O2]3- (A) decomposes in aqueous solution to the hydroxo-complex [Co(CN)5OH]3- (B) and the hydroperoxo complex [Co(CN)5CoO2N]3 (C). The mechanism involves partial dissociation of A to give [Co(CN)5]3- (E) which binds with unreacted A to give the η1:η1-peroxo complex [(CN)5Co02Co(CN)5]6- (F) which is hydrolysed to B and C. The mechanism is supported by the effects of pH, dioxygen concentration, and ionic strength on the rate of decomposition, and by the trapping of oxidation products of E and F. Complex A reacts readily with reducing agents to give directly the hydroperoxo complex C.
