Abstract
CpCo(CO) 2 is oxidised by [Cp 2Fe]BF 4 (Cp = C 5H 5) in the presence of neutral ligands L to give the dications [CpCoL 3] 2+ (L = SMe 2, S(n-C 4H 9) 2, PMe 3, C 5H 5N, MeCN; Me = CH 3). In [CpCo(SMe 2) 3] 2+, sulfane ligands are substituted by neutral ligands L, LL and LLL, to give the complexes [CpCoL 3] 2+ (L = SeMe 2, TeMe 2, PMe 3, P(OMe) 3, AsMe 3, SbMe 3, t-C 4H 9NC, C 5H 5N, MeCN), [Cp-Co(LL)SMe 2] 2+ (LL = R 2P(CH 2) n PR 2, n = 1, 2, R = C 6H 5; bipyridine, o-phenanthroline, neocuproin) and [CpCo(LLL)] 2+ (LLL = RP(CH 2CH 2PR 2) 2, R = C 6H 5). The dications react with iodide resulting in the monocations [CpCoL 2I] + and [CpCo(LL)I] +. Azacobaltocinium cations [CpCo(C 4R 2H 2N)] + (R = H, CH 3) are obtained by reaction of [CpCo(SMe 2) 3] 2+ with metal pyrrolides.
