Synthesis of Coordinatively Unsaturated Cobalt(II)–Alkyl Complexes Bearing Phosphorus-bridged [1.1]Ferrocenophanes

Authors:

Abstract
Alkylation of a tetrahedral cobalt(II)–dichloro complex bearing a sterically demanding and electron-donating diphosphine chelate gave a corresponding dialkyl-complex, which is the first coordinatively unsaturated cobalt(II)-(diphosphine)(dialkyl) complex isolated and characterized by X-ray analysis. This complex is expected to serve as a model intermediate in the cobalt(II)-catalyzed Heck-type reactions.
