Abstract: | Methylcobalt Compounds with Non-chelating Ligands, IV. Monoolefin Complexes Tris(trimethylphosphane)cobalt(I) halides in ether solvents saturated with olefin at low temperatures from monoolefin complexes which are prone to dissociation. Upon reaction with methyl-or phenyllithium more stable compounds are formed of the composition CoR(CC)L3 ( 1 – 4 ) (R CH3; CC C2H4, C3H6, cyclo-C5H8; R C6H5; CC C2H4; L P(CH3)3). In solution the fluctional molecules adopt a ground state structure containing a σ-bonded group and an olefin ligand in adjacent positions (trigonal-bipyramidal: CH3 axial and C2H4 equatorial or C6H5 and C2H4 equatorial). The latter arrangement is confirmed for the crystalline state by an X-ray structure determination of (ethene)phenyltris(trimethylphosphane)cobalt ( 4 ). An equatorial plane of coordination along a Co P bond not only contains both ethene-C atoms but also all the atoms of the phenyl group. The compound is thermally decomposed to give biphenyl and (ethene)tris-(trimethylphosphane)cobalt(0). No products of an olefin insertion reaction are observed. |
