Reactions of Transition-Metal Sigma-Acetylides. V. Synthesis and X-Ray Structure of Co2(µ-η2-PhC2Fe(Co)2(η-C5h5))(Co)6
Keyword(s):
The reaction between Co2(CO)8 and Fe(C2Ph)(CO)2(η-C5H5) gave the title complex in 44% yield. The molecular structure was determined from a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study, and consists of the transition metal acetylide acting as a conventional μ- alkyne ligand to a Co2(CO)6 unit. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/n, with a 11.610(8), b 14.657(4), c 12.526(6)Ǻ, β 90.30(5)°, and Z 4; 1683 independent data were refined to R 0.080, Rw 0.087.
