O-silylation of acylcobalt tetracarbonyls: synthesis of a new type of dinuclear µ2-hydroxycarbene cobalt carbonyl derivatives
Abstract
O-Silylation of acylcobalt tetracarbonyls, RC(O)Co(CO)4, gives the dinuclear carbene complexes [{µ2-RC(OSiR′3)}(µ2-CO)Co2(CO)6], of which one derivative (R = Me, R′= Ph) was characterized by X-ray diffraction.
