Some remarkable reaction of the biscarbyne clusters [µ3-(η1-CR1)-µ3-(η1-CR2)-{(η5-C5H5)Co}3] with electrophiles
Abstract
Trinuclear [(η5-C5H5)Co]3 biscarbyne clusters react with electrophiles such as iodine halides, Lewis and other acids, and oxygen to give products which have been derived by substitution at the apical and next-to-apical carbon atoms.
