Labile Ligand-Substitution Reactions of Intermediate-Spin Six-Coordinate Cobalt(III) Complexes

Three intermediate-spin, six-coordinate Co(III) complexes, [Co(CNCH 2 Ph) 4 {OAs(C 6 H 4 Me-p) 3 } 2 ](BF 4 ) 3 , [Co(CNC 6 H 11 ) 4 (OSbPh 3 ) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 3 , and [Co(CNCH 2 Ph) 4 (OSbPh 3 ) 2 ](BF 4 ) 3 , are shown to undergo labile ligand-substitution reactions with selected trialkylphosphine lig...

Summary:Three intermediate-spin, six-coordinate Co(III) complexes, [Co(CNCH 2 Ph) 4 {OAs(C 6 H 4 Me-p) 3 } 2 ](BF 4 ) 3 , [Co(CNC 6 H 11 ) 4 (OSbPh 3 ) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 3 , and [Co(CNCH 2 Ph) 4 (OSbPh 3 ) 2 ](BF 4 ) 3 , are shown to undergo labile ligand-substitution reactions with selected trialkylphosphine ligands. Percent yields in reactions of [Co(CNCH 2 Ph) 4 {OAs(C 6 H 4 Me-p) 3 } 2 ](BF 4 ) 3 increase significantly when reactions are performed at lowered temperatures. [Co(CNC 6 H 11 ) 4 (OSbPh 3 ) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 3 and [Co(CNCH 2 Ph) 4 (OSbPh 3 ) 2 ](BF 4 ) 3 react with P(C 3 H 7 -n) 3 and P(C 4 H 9 -n) 3 immediately at 0 °C to produce the known complexes, trans-[Co(CNR) 4 (PR′ 3 ) 2 ]X 3 , in good yields.
