Abstract
The binding and activation of dioxygen is essential to many biological functions. Cobalt(II) complexes reversibly bind O2 and the resulting adducts have one unpaired electron. The presence of an odd electron in these complexes affords a ready probe of the electronic structure of the O2 adduct by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. This feature and the relative stability of the cobalt(II) complexes has stimulated considerable research on the cobalt (II) system. Early interpretations of epr, X-ray diffraction and infrared results on these dioxygen adducts of cobalt (II) are classic cases of over-interpretation of data. The topic will be developed historically and the objective of this school will be to learn the lessons from the past so they will not be repeated.
