Hi,
I should prepare cobalt complex experiment using MIMT (2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole).
In this experiment, the coordination numbers were changed depending on what solvent we use.
In case of EtOH, the coordination number is 6, octahedral structure.
On the contrary, if we use EA(ethyl acetate), it forms tetrahedral structure which have coordination number 4.
I couldn't find the answer of this changes.
How can I explain it?
