Abstract: The title compound, [([eta]2-C16H8)Co2(CO)6], (I), has been prepared by treatment of 5,6,11,12-tetradehydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene, (II), with dicobalt octacarbonyl. Although one acetylene in (II) remains intact upon treatment with Co2(CO)8, the other is coordinated to Co2(CO)6, exhibiting a C[triple bond]C bond lengthened to 1.356  (2)  Å and a C[triple bond]C-C bond angle contracted to 147.53  (16)°.
