Theoretical Studies of Inorganic and Organometallic Reaction Mechanisms. 11. Migratory Insertion of Coordinated Nitric Oxide into Cobalt-Carbon Bonds

摘要

The migratory insertion reaction of NO into the Co-CH_3 σ-bond in the cobalt cyclopentadienyl complex CpCo(NO)(CH_3) (2), both with and without the assistance of an incoming ligand (PH_3, 1), has been studied using ab initio molecular orbital and density functional theory (DFT) methods.
