Laser flash photolysis of hydridotetrakis(diethyl phenylphosphonite)cobalt(I). Direct evidence for the existence of a co-ordinatively unsaturated species

Abstract
A transient species (λmax: 580 nm, ε: 1.7 × 103 dm3 mol–1 cm–1) observed 0.43 µs after nitrogen laser pulse excitation of hydridotetrakis(diethyl phenylphosphonite)cobalt(I) in cyclohexane has been identified as a co-ordinatively unsaturated species, to which diethyl phenylphosphonite and hex-1-ene co-ordinate with second-order rate constants of 1.4 × 108 and 1.1 × 108 dm3 mol–1s–1 respectively.
