Kb. Riether et al., A CONVENIENT ELECTROSYNTHESIS OF NEW COMPLEXES [SN(CO(CO)(3)PR(3))(4)] AND THEIR SPECTROSCOPIC CHARACTERIZATION, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 486(1-2), 1995, pp. 123-127
New complexes [Sn{Co(CO)(3)PR(3)}], which have been identified by FTIR
, mass spectroscopy, P-31{H-1} and Sn-119{H-1} NMR, were obtained easi
ly in high yield (70-80%) by electroreduction of a series of water-sol
uble or water-insoluble complexes [Co-2(CO)(6)(PR(3))(2)]. The mechani
stic aspects of the synthesis are discussed.
