A new cobalt complex containing η3- and η2- bonded diallyl ether: synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of [Co(CH2CHCH2OCHCHCH2)-(PPh3)2]
Abstract
The reaction of CoH(N2)(PPh3)3 with diallyl ether in toluene yields [Co(CH2CHCH2OCHCHCH2)-(PPh3)2], which has been shown by a single crystal X-ray study to contain the CH2CHCH2OCHCHCH2 group as a bidentate ligand liked to the cobalt atom via η3- and η2- bonds.
