Synthesis, Structure, and Ligand Exchange Reactions of Tetramethyleneethane Complexes of Cobalt

The synthesis of (η3:η3-TME)[Co(CO) 3]2 (1) was achieved using 2,3-bis(bromomethyl)-1,3- butadiene (TMEBr2) as the tetramethyleneethane (TME) ligand precursor and Na[Co(CO)4]. Solution NMR studies suggested an η3:η3-configuration, which has been confirmed in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray d...
