(⁵-Cyclopentadienyl)bis(triphenylphosphane)cobalt(I)-toluene-n-hexane (1/0.20/0.25)

M. Hapke and A. Spannenberg

Abstract: The title compound, [Co(C₅H₅)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]·0.2C₇H₈·0.25C₆H₁₄, was synthesized by the reaction of cobaltocene, Cp₂Co, with elemental lithium in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of two equivalents of PPh₃. The molecular structure displays a cobalt(I) center in a distorted trigonal-planar coordination environment, with one Cp and two phosphane ligands. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit besides the disordered solvent molecules.
