Popis: The reversibility of the reaction has allowed a quantitative assessment of the kinetic lability of the cobalt-rhodium bond through detailed variable temperature NMR studies. (PEt/sub 3/)/sub 2/(CO)Rh-Co(CO)/sub 4/ was prepared by the dropwise addition of a THF solution of K(Co(CO)/sub 4/) to a THF solution of RhCl(CO)(PEt/sub 3/)/sub 2/, under a nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring the mixture at 50/sup 0/C for 24h, the THF was removed and the residue extracted with petroleum ether. Cooling the extract to -65/sup 0/C produced a 77% yield of the complex. The solid state structure is illustrated; values for relative bond angles and bond lengths are given. Structural data indicate that the complex is coordinately unsaturated and is best formulated as possessing a polar-metal Rh(I) and Co(-I) center. The (Co(CO)/sub 4/)/sup -/ group behaves as a pseudohalide, the Rh-Co interaction is relatively weak, easily displaced by acetonitrile and THF. The rate of metal bond cleavage is extremely fast. 2 figures.
