Abstract

An acetylene-linked dimeric complex has been prepared from the reaction of [Co₂(CO)₈] with PhC₂MPPh₃ (M Ag or Au) or [Hg(C₂Ph)₂] in Ch₂Cl₂. An X-ray structure determination revealed that the product was not the expected aceteylene derivative [Co₂(CO)₆(PhC₂MPPh₃)] or [{Co₂(CO)₆PhC₂}₂Hg)], but contained two [Co₂(CO)₆PhC₂] units linked by a CC bond to give the dimer [{Co₂(CO)₆PhC₂}₂].
