Abstract
The reaction of dicobalt octacarbonyl with tertiary phosphites gives several products, which have been interconverted by chemical means. Some cobaltcobalt bonds have been formed from the nucleophilic attack by the anion [Co(CO) 4− n L n ] − on the cation [Co(CO) 5− n (PR 3) n ] + leading to known binuclear compounds. Such a reaction is not possible with tertiary phosphites because of a Michaelis—Arbuzov rearrangement, previously observed for complexes of manganese and molybdenum.
