Abstract

The thermal reaction of [Co2(μ-PPh2){μ-SPhC(O) CHCH}(CO)4] with P(OMe)3 leads, in addition to carbonyl substitution, to a novel ligand rearrangement in which the PPh2 and SPh groups interchange positions, giving the new organometallic derivative [Co2(μ-SPh){μ-PPh2CHCHC(O)}(CO)2{P(OMe) 3}2]; both complexes are characterised by X-ray diffraction studies.
