Synthesis, separation, and assignment of the seven geometric isomers of [Co(dien)(ibn)Cl](2+)
All seven possible geometric isomers (four mer and three facial) for the [Co(dien)(ibn)Cl](2+) system have been synthesized (dien = diethylenetriamine, ibn = 1,2-diamino-2-methyl propane). Their structures in dimethyl sulfoxide solution have been uniquely determined by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy (DOCOSY and NOESY).
