New cobalt(I) complexes derived from dicarbonyltricyanocobaltate(I)
Abstract
The preparation and characterization of several series of mixed ligand cobalt(I) complexes of the types [Co(CN)2(CO)2(PR3)]–, [Co(CN)2(CO)(PR3)2]–, and [Co(CN)(CO)2(PR3)2], prepared by the reactions of tertiary phosphines (PR3) with [Co(CN)3(CO)2]2–, are described and some novel aspects of their chemistry are discussed.
