Reactions (η5-C5Me5)Co(CO)2 with XCN (X = Br, I) and INCO

Oxidative Addition Reactions of P(CN)3, P(NCO)3 and P(NCS)3 to (η5-C5Me5)Co(CO)2

“…Thus oxidative additions to (?75-C5H 5)C o(C O )2, (^5-C5EtM e4)C o(CO ) 2 [1] and (?7:'-CsMe5)C o(C O ) 2 [2] have been studied. In all cases the elimination of a carbonyl-group and the oxidation of Co(I) to C o(III) takes place.…”
