Deprotonation of hexacarbonyl(trimethylsilylethyne)dicobalt and subsequent single electron transfer chemistry. Polyacetylene–poly(cobaltcarbonyl) complexes
Abstract
Deprotonation of hexacarbonyl(trimethylsilylethyne)dicobalt with LiN(SiMe3)2 gave the lithium species (3), which on treatment with a variety of electrophiles, gave products characteristic of single electron transfer chemistry.
