Jc. Anderson et al., PREPARATION OF ALKYNEPENTACARBONYLTRIPHENYLPHOSPHINEDICOBALT COMPLEXES USING ULTRA-VIOLET LIGHT, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 519(1-2), 1996, pp. 103-106
The preparation of alkynepentacarbonyltriphenylphosphinedicobalt compl
exes under mild conditions using linearly polarised ultra violet laser
light is described. This method compares favourably with conventional
thermal techniques and is superior when the alkyne contains reactive
functional groups.
