Ad. Shaposhnikova et al., TRANSFORMATION OF MU-3-ACETYLIDE CLUSTER CO2(CO)6 [MU-PHCCRE(CO)5] INTO CARBYNE CLUSTER CO2RE(CO)10(MU-3-CPH), Journal of organometallic chemistry, 453(2), 1993, pp. 279-281
The acetylide complex Co2(CO)6[mu-PhCaCRe(CO)5] (1) undergoes nondestr
uctive reaction with oxygen which results in the net loss of one acety
lide carbon atom together with a CO ligand and accompanied by the form
ation of the carbyne cluster Co2Re(CO)10(mu3-CPh) (II). According to X
-ray structural data, cluster II is a distorted tetrahedral which cont
ains Co-Co (2.526(4) angstrom) and Co-Re (2.694(4) and 2.704(3) angstr
om) bonds.
