[Co4P2(PtBu2)2(CO)8] und [{Co(CO)3}2P4tBu4] aus Co2(CO)8 und tBu2P–P=P(Me)tBu2

Coordination Chemistry of P‐rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. XIX. Co₄P₂(P^tBu₂)₂(CO)₈] and {Co(CO)₃}₂P₄^tBu₄] from Co₂(CO)₈ and ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ Co₂(CO)₈ reacts with ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ yielding the compounds Co₄P₂(P^tBu₂)₂(CO)₈] ( 1 ) and {η^2tBu₂P=P–P=P^tBu₂}{Co(CO)₃}₂] ( 2 a ) cis, ( 2 b ) trans. In 1 , four Co and two P atoms form a tetragonal bipyramid, in which two adjacent Co atoms are μ₂‐bridged by ^tBu₂P groups. Additionally, two CO groups are linked to each Co atom. In 2 a and 2 b , each of the Co(CO)₃ units is η²‐coordinated to the terminal P₂ units resulting in the cis‐ and trans‐configurations 2 a and 2 b . 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnnm (No. 58) with a = 879,41(5), b = 1199,11(8), c = 1773,65(11) pm. 2 a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n (No. 14) with a = 875,97(5), b = 1625,36(11), c = 2117,86(12) pm, β = 91,714(7)°. 2 b crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 (No. 2) with a = 812,00(10), b = 843,40(10), c = 1179,3(2) pm, α = 100,92(2)°, β = 102,31(2)°, γ = 102,25(2)°.
