Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Four-coordinated Cobalt Complex with 1-Methylbenzimidazole

A four-coordinated complex, L{sub 2}Co(NCO){sub 2}, (L = 1-methylbenzimidazole) has been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analyses, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal is monoclinic, a = 14.522(2) Å, b = 14.610(2) Å, c = 8.6850(13) Å, β = 92.037(3)°, Z = 4, sp. gr. P2{sub 1}/c. Bond lengths Co–N(L) are equal to 2.0165(16) and 2.0174(15) Å, Co–O(NCO) are 1.944(2) and 1.945(2) Å. Intermolecular C–H···O, C–H···N, and C–H···π interactions link the molecules into three-dimensional networks in the crystal.

Method for scavenging mercury

Disclosed herein is a method for removing mercury from a gas stream comprising contacting the gas stream with a getter composition comprising bromine, bromochloride, sulphur bromide, sulphur dichloride or sulphur monochloride and mixtures thereof. In one preferred embodiment the getter composition is adsorbed onto a sorbent. The sorbent may be selected from the group consisting of flyash, limestone, lime, calcium sulphate, calcium sulfite, activated carbon, charcoal, silicate, alumina and mixtures thereof. Preferred is flyash, activated carbon and silica.
