title: 1,1'-Bis(diisobutyl-phosphino)cobalto-cenium hexa-fluorido-phosphate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C(13)H(22)P)(2)]PF(6), the Co(III) atom is sandwiched between two (diisobutyl-phosphino)cyclo-penta-dienenyl ligands. The two diisobutyl-phophine units are trans to each other with respect to the Co(III) metal center. The PF(6) (-) anion links the cobaltocenium cations via weak C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds into a chain running along the b axis. The chains are further linked by C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming a layer extending parallel to the (10) plane.
