Abstract:
The compounds C5H5Co(η2-CH3CHS)PMe3 (I) and C5H5Co(η2-CH3CHSe)PMe3 (II) are prepared from C5H5Co(CO)PMe3, CH3CHBr2 and NaSH or NaSeH, respectively. The synthesis of the corresponding rhodium complexes C5H5Rh(η2-CH3CHS)P(i-Pr)3 (VI) and C5H5Rh(η2-CH3CHSe)P(i-Pr)3 (VII) has been achieved through hydrogenation of C5H5Rh(η2-EC=CH2)P(i-Pr)3 (E = S, Se), using RhCl(PPh3)3 as a catalyst. The crystal structure of VII has been determined.
