Abstract

The reaction of [Co2(CO)8] with an equimolar amount of the internal alkyne N-(2-butynyl)phthalimide (1-Phthalimido-2-butyne) 1 in heptane solution yields the title compound [Co2(CO)6(µ-phthalimidoCH2C≡CMe)] 2. Compound 2 has been characterized using IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy; the tetrahedrane-type cluster framework has been ascertained using a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study performed at 100 K.
