The First Transition Metal Isonitrilate: Synthesis and Characterization of K(Co(2,6-Me2C6H3NC)4)

Abstract

Addition of 4 equiv of 2,6-Me2C6H3NC to K(Co(2H4)4) in THF results in displacement of the ethylene and formation of the homoleptic isonitrilate (Co(2, 6-Me2C6H3NC)4- (2-), isolated as K2, (K(DME)2, and (K(18-crown-6)2. IR and 1H NMR spectra are consistent with formulation of 2- as a complex of terminal isonitrile ligands, and chemical characterization of 2- was provided by addition of Ph3SnC1 in THF to give (Co(2,6-Me2C6H3NC)4SnPh3) (4). Homoleptic isonitrile complex/cobalt compounds, Isonitrilate.
