Popis: We have shown that cobaltacyclopentadiene complexes, derived from cobalt carbonyl and two alkyne molecules and long believed to be intermediates in cyclotrimerization as well as in the formation of the (three-alkyne-derived) “flyover” complexes, can be isolated in selected cases if the mono(alkyne)−Co2(CO)6 complexes are treated at room temperature with just 1 equiv of alkyne in the presence of trimethylamine N-oxide. The complex (PhCCHCMeCMe)Co2(CO)5 has been characterized by X-ray crystallography.
