Synthesis and reactivity of cobalt boryl complexes

Abstract

The reaction between [Co(PMe3)4] and B2(4-Mecat)2 (4-Mecat = 1,2-O2-4-MeC6H3) or between [Co(PMe2Ph)4] and B2(cat)2 (cat = 1,2-O2C6H4) affords the paramagnetic Co(II) bisboryl complexes [Co(PMe3)3{B(4-Mecat)}2] and [Co(PMe2Ph)3{B(cat)}2] respectively, both of which have been structurally characterised. ESR data and preliminary diboration and boryl transfer reactivity studies are also presented. The reaction between [CoMe(PMe3)4] and B2(cat)2 affords the Co(I) monoboryl complex [Co(PMe3)4{B(cat)}].
