DOIAbstract
Two new potentially multi-site coordinating cyclophosphazenes, gem-N3P3[HN(CH2)3NH](3,5-Me2Pz)4 (STPCTP) and gem-N3P3(NH2)2(3,5-Me2Pz)4 (ATPCTP) have been synthesised and characterised. These form mononuclear complexes with Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) halides which have been studied by optical spectroscopy. An X-ray analysis of ATPCTP·CoCl2 shows the Co(II) atom to exist in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry in which the two chloride atoms and a nitrogen atom of the cyclophosphazene ring form the equatorial plane; the axial positions are occupied by nitrogen atoms derived from the two non-geminal pyrazolyl substituents. The amino substituents on the cyclophosphazene ring do not take part in coordination
