was studied by similar techniques. Na-[Co("CO),] was synthesized by Hieber's cyanide method [I I]. The product was isolated as an analytically pure solid on saturation of the water solution with NaCi followed by continuous extraction with Et,O. The extract was dried with Na,SO, and finally evaporated to dryness. Typical yields were 60% based on the 'CCO introduced. PPN[CO('~CO),] was prepared by a metathesis reaction between PPNCI and Na[Co("CO),] in CH,OH/H,O.[CO,('~CO),,I: To a suspension of N~[CO('~CO),] (480 mg, 2.42mmol) in ri-hexane (100 mL) was added HCI (60 mL, 2.50 mmol) through a rubber septum. The suspension was stirred for 24 h at 50°C and then refluxed for 3 h. Solid impurities were removed by filtration. and black crystals of [Co,('3CO),,] were obtained (210 mg; 60% yield) by cooling the mother liquor to -20 C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
