In the title compound, [Co(C₂₀H₁₈P)I(C₃H₉P)₂], the Co^II atom has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, the base of which is comprised of two trans PMe₃ groups, an I atom, and a C atom of the benzyl group. This benzyl group is tethered to the P atom at the apex of the pyramid, thereby forming a five-membered chelated Co—C—C—C—P ring.

Comment top

Reaction of low valent complexes of Co(PMe₃)₄ with dibenzylphenylphosphine and 4,4'-diiodobiphenyl afforded the title compound. The coordination of P1 and C20 forms a five membered chelated ring.

In the title molecule (Fig. 1) The Co atom lies at the center of the base of a square-based pyramid in which P5 atom and P2 atom are located in trans positions. The P1 atom, which occupies the apex of the square-based pyramid is shifted significantly towards C20. The square-pyramidal coordination of Co includes three P-donor atoms, one I atom and one C atom. A five membered chelated ring is formed by C20, C15, C14, P1 and Co. The Co—I distance is 2.6133 (9) Å.

Experimental top

Standard vacuum techniques were used in manipulations of volatile and air sensitive material. Tetrakis(trimethylphosphine)cobalt(0) was prepared according to the literature procedure reported by Klein & Karsch (1975). Other chemicals were used as purchased.

A solution of Co(PMe₃)₄ (0.46 g, 1.22 mmol) in 20 ml of THF was added to dibenzylphenylphosphine (0.35 g, 1.21 mmol) in 20 ml of THF. After stirring at room temperature for 48 h, 4,4'-diiodobiphenyl (0.40 g, 0.99 mmol) was added. The solution turned reddish-brown. THF was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was extrated using pentane. Crystallization at 4°C afforded brown crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis (yield 0.12 g, 39%), m.p.: 127°C.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F² against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F², conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F². The threshold expression of F² > σ(F²) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F² are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
