“…In our previous work, we synthesized complex Cp * CoI(2-PyS) in a very high yield, which was used as a starting material to study the reaction with monodentate or bidentate 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane thiolate, 2-pyridinethiolate, 2-pyridinethione, 4-pyridinethiolate and benzenethiolate ligands and some interesting phenomena were detected, such as C-H activation reaction [25,26] (2) or Cp * CoI(2-TaS) (3) was isolated as green crystals in about 80% yield, respectively (Scheme 1). Complexes 1, 2 and 3 are all a little air sensitive and soluble in common organic solvents, such as CH 2 Cl 2 and THF.…”
