Synthesis and properties of [CoCp*(2,5-PC4tBu2H2)]: the first monophosphacobaltocene.

The reduction of the phosphacobaltocenium salt [CoCp*(2,5-PC(4)tBu(2)H(2))](+)[BPh(4)](-) (3; Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) by magnesium in tetrahydrofuran (THF) furnishes the stable air-sensitive phosphacobaltocene [CoCp*(2,5-PC(4)tBu(2)H(2))] (4) in yields of up to 80 %. The crystal structure o...
