Unexpected reduction pathway of a Co(2+) salt to [HCo(CO)(4)] via [Co(2)(CO)(8)] in an ionic liquid.
In the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ionic liquid ([BMI][NTf(2)]), [Co(NTf(2))(2)] is reduced under 5.5 MPa of H(2)-CO to [Co(2)(CO)(8)] prior to [HCo(CO)(4)], provided a pyridine ligand is present in the medium.
