Crystal structure of (η2,η2-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene)(η5-inden-yl)cobalt(I)

摘要

The title compound, [Co(C 8 H 12 )(C 9 H 7 )], was synthesized by the reaction of metallated 2- H -indene with CoCl(PPh 3 ) 3 and 1,5-cyclo-octa-diene in tetra-hydro-furan/toluene. In the mol-ecule, the Co I atom is coordinated by the two double bonds of the 1,5-cyclo-octa-diene ligand and η 5 -bonded to the indenyl ligand. The asymmetric unit contains two mol-ecules of the Co I complex with very similar conformations. In the crystal, mol-ecules are arranged into rows parallel to [100]. Apart from dispersion forces, there are no notable inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal.
