Ethylenediamine-triacetatocobalt (¥²) complexes with an ammine, an ethylene-diamine, and a trimethylenediamine as the unidentate ligand were prepared, and were isolated as only one isomer for each case by the Dowex 50W-X8, cation exchange resin in H+ form. The geometrical isomer of these complexes have been assigned cis-equatorial form in the three possible geometrical isomers from the elemental analysis, pH titration, IR, NMR, and electronic absorption spectrum. It was found that [CoN3O3] system of the meridional form with multidentate ligand have the first absorption band of the largely splitting pattern, and that the diamines (ethylenediamine, trimethylenediamine) have coordinated to the central cobalt (¥²) ion as a unidentate ligand.
