Canning a carbon : During oxidation with O 2 , the cobalt(II) complex [Co(salmdpt)] (salmdptH 2 =bis[3‐(salicylideneimino)‐propyl]methylamine) reacts with a nitrile substrate to form the cyanide complex [Co(salmdpt)CN] (see structure) and the corresponding aldehyde, which contains one less carbon atom than the starting nitrile.
