Synthesis of a new heteronuclear gold–cobalt cluster. Preparation and X-ray structure determination of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine)-bis(tetracarbonylcobalt)hexagold
Abstract
The reaction of [AU8L7]2+(L = PPh3) with an excess of Li[Co(CO)4] in tetrahydrofuran results in the formation of Au6L4[Co(CO)4]2, the structure of which has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
