Cobalt(III) complexes as functional ligands for metal (oxide) surfaces

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Oct 7;48(77):9583-5. doi: 10.1039/c2cc34598f.

Abstract

Co(III) polyamine complexes with either two or three labile coordination sites bind strongly to high surface area metal oxides such as goethite or aluminium trihydroxide, and have been shown to act as passivating agents for aluminium flake in aqueous media, in addition to providing a potential method for surface functionalisation.
