Abstract
We report an improved,
convenient, and general synthesis
of the
air-stable complex CpCo(DQ) (DQ = duroquinone), originally described
by Schrauzer and Thyret in 1963, and applied this general protocol
to the preparation of a series of related CpCo(p-benzoquinone)
complexes with yields ranging from 35 to 96%. The complexes were characterized
by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the bonding characteristics
were compared to those of other CpCo–olefin complexes. Their
catalytic performance was evaluated in cyclotrimerization reactions
under both thermal and photochemical conditions for the synthesis
of pyridine and benzene derivatives.
期刊介绍:
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
