An arene-stabilized cobalt(I) aryl: reactions with CO and NO.
The half-sandwich cobalt(I) complex (eta (6)-C 7H 8)CoAr*-3,5- ( i )Pr 2 (Ar*-3,5- ( i )Pr 2 = -C 6H-2,6-(C 6H 2-2,4,6- ( i )Pr 3) 2-3,5- ( i )Pr 2) was synthesized by reduction of [3,5- ( i )Pr 2Ar*Co(mu-Cl)] 2 in toluene. It reacts with CO or NO to afford the unusual complexes [3,5- ( i )Pr 2Ar*C(O)Co(CO)] or [3,5- ( i )Pr 2Ar*N(NO)OCo(NO) 2].
