A GENERAL ROUTE TO PROCHIRAL AND CHIRAL DICATIONIC MOLYBDENUM-COBALT ACETYLENIC COMPLEXES : SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURES, AND REACTIVITY

Several [Co−Co]−alkyne adducts [Co2(CO)6)(μ-η2,η2-HOCR1R2-C⋮C−CR1R2OH)] were prepared (R1 = R2 = H (1); R1 = H, R2 = CH3 (2); R1 = R2 = CH3 (3)) and their X-ray molecular structures determined, sho...
