Fe. Hong et al., Preparation of a new cobalt-containing diphosphine ligand and its reactiontowards dicobalt octacarbonyl; X-ray crystal structure of [Co-2(CO)(4)(mu-CO)(2){mu-P,P-(mu-PPh2C CPPh2)Co-2(CO)(6)}], INORG CH C, 2(10), 1999, pp. 450-452
Consecutive reactions of bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene with CO2(CO)(8) re
sulted in an alkyne-bridged, diphosphine-chelated tetracobalt complex, [Co-
2(CO)(4)(mu-CO)(2){mu-P,P-(mu-PPh2C drop CPPh2)Co-2(CO)(6)}] (2), which has
been characterized by spectroscopic means as well as X-ray studies. (C) 19
