Cobalt complex compounds anions, carbonyl

The use of the anionic tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand afforded the possibility to obtain the neutral unsatured 15-electron cobalt(n) complex 19. This compound was able to react with CO leading to a carbonyl derivative, or with ethylene (at elevated temperature, however) to give a 7 1 mixture of the alkyl and an -ethene cobalt complexes. The... 

In a similar manner, Jt-allyl complexes of manganese, iron, and molybdenum carbonyls have been obtained from the corresponding metal carbonyl halides [5], In the case of the reaction of dicarbonyl(r 5-cyclopentadienyl)molybdenum bromide with allyl bromide, the c-allyl derivative is obtained in 75% yield in dichloromethane, but the Jt-allyl complex is the sole product (95%), when the reaction is conducted in a watenbenzene two-phase system. Similar solvent effects are observed in the corresponding reaction of the iron compound. As with the cobalt tetracarbonyl anion, it is... 

The carbon dioxide anion-radical was used for one-electron reductions of nitrobenzene diazo-nium cations, nitrobenzene itself, quinones, aliphatic nitro compounds, acetaldehyde, acetone and other carbonyl compounds, maleimide, riboflavin, and certain dyes (Morkovnik and Okhlobystin 1979). The double bonds in maleate and fumarate are reduced by CO2. The reduced products, on being protonated, give rise to succinate (Schutz and Meyerstein 2006). The carbon dioxide anion-radical reduces organic complexes of Co and Ru into appropriate complexes of the metals(II) (Morkovnik and Okhlobystin 1979). In particular, after the electron transfer from this anion radical to the pentammino-p-nitrobenzoato-cobalt(III) complex, the Co(III) complex with thep-nitrophenyl anion-radical fragment is initially formed. The intermediate complex transforms into the final Co(II) complex with the p-nitrobenzoate ligand. 

Vanhoye and coworkers [402] synthesized aldehydes by using the electrogenerated radical anion of iron pentacarbonyl to reduce iodoethane and benzyl bromide in the presence of carbon monoxide. Esters can be prepared catalytically from alkyl halides and alcohols in the presence of iron pentacarbonyl [403]. Yoshida and coworkers reduced mixtures of organic halides and iron pentacarbonyl and then introduced an electrophile to obtain carbonyl compounds [404] and converted alkyl halides into aldehydes by using iron pentacarbonyl as a catalyst [405,406]. Finally, a review by Torii [407] provides references to additional papers that deal with catalytic processes involving complexes of nickel, cobalt, iron, palladium, rhodium, platinum, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, rhenium, tin, lead, zinc, mercury, and titanium. 

Various metal-metal single o-bonded complexes have been obtained by the reaction of metal carbonyls with metal-carbon o-bonded porphyrins or by the reaction of metal carbonyl anions and chlorometalloporphyrins (Scheme 14). For example, the reaction of dimanganese carbonyl and methyl indium(III) porphyrin gives manganese pen-tacarbonyl indium porphyrin In(Por)Mn(CO)5. The same compound is isolated when chloroindium porphyrin is allowed to react with the manganese pentacarbonyl monoanion. Various iron, cobalt, tungsten, and molybdenum complexes have been prepared by these two methods.
