Abstract
The reactions of {Co(CO)4}2Hg with various phosphorus(III) ligands in the absence of light give {LCo(CO)3}2Hg and, under more vigorous conditions, {L2Co(CO)2}2Hg derivatives [L = Et3P, Bun nP, PhMe2P, Ph(Pri)2P, Ph2MeP, (Et2N)3P, Ph2POMe, PhP(OMe)2, (MeO)3P, (2-ClC2H4O)3P, PhOP(OCH2)2 or (PhO)3P]. The bidentate ligand Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2, dp yields (dp)Co2(CO)6Hg and {(dp)Co(CO)2}2Hg. Analogous arsenic complexes are also decribed. Some reactions of these two compounds with mercury(II) halides or tin(IV) chloride have been investigated. The complex {(dp)Co(CO)2}2Hg yields (dp)Co(CO)2X (X = HgCl, HgBr, Hgl, or SnCl3) and {(da)Co(Co)2}2Hg reacts similary, but whereas (Ph2PCH2)2Co2(CO)6Hg gives a mixture of (Ph2PCH2)2-Co(CO)2X and Co(CO)4X, (Ph2AsCH2)2Co2(CO)6Hg gives only (Ph2AsCH2)2{Co(CO)3X}2. The i.r. spectra of all compounds in the 1700–2100 cm–1 region are reported, absorption bands due to v(CO) vibrations are identified, and structures proposed for the new derivatives.Keywords
