Co(II)(l-proline)2(H2O)2 solid complex: Characterization, magnetic properties, and DFT computations. Preliminary studies of its use as oxygen scavenger in packaging films
Résumé
A solid CoII complex with l-proline as ligand was synthesized and fully characterized using spectroscopic studies, magnetic data, and DFT calculations. Dioxygen scavenging properties were investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy and oxymetry techniques. The Co-proline system presented very interesting properties in matter of oxygen absorption capacity both in solution and incorporated in a polymer matrix.
