Formation and isomerisation of olefin π-complexes of cyanocobaltate(I) with diethyl maleate and fumarate
Abstract
13 C and 1H n.m.r. evidence has been obtained for the formation of olefin π-complexes of [Co(CN)4]3– with diethyl maleate (1) and fumarate (2) and disodium maleate (3) and fumarate (4); the complex of (1) isomerises to that of (2) probably via a σ-complex of the carbanion (7).
