G. Albertin et al., SYNTHESIS AND NEW REACTIONS OF ALKYNYLCOBALT COMPLEXES - PREPARATION AND STRUCTURE OF 6H4P(OET)(2)C(H)C(H)PH)(CO)(PPH(OET)(2))(2)]BPH(4), Organometallics, 14(9), 1995, pp. 4126-4131
The alkynylcobalt complexes Co(C=CR)(CO){PPh(OEt)(2)}(3) (1) (R = Ph,
p-tol) were prepared. Protonation reaction with HBF4 . Et(2)O or CF3SO
3H allowed the synthesis of C6H4P(OEt)(2)C(H)=C(H)R}(CO){PPh(OEt)(2)}(
2)BPh(4) (2) derivatives, which were characterized crystallographicall
y and spectroscopically. Oxidation of 1 with I-2 affording CoI2(C=CR)-
(CO){PPh(OEt)(2))(2) was also tested.
