[(Eta5-C5H5)Co{S2C2H(2-quinoxalinyl)}] has been prepared using a gener
al procedure which allows for the synthesis of unsymmetrical dithiolen
es; the molecular structure involves a planar cobalt-dithiolene five-m
embered ring which is disposed at an angle of 10.6-degrees to the 2-qu
inoxalinyl group.
