Abstract

The complexes [Co-2(mu-eta (2)-HC2C6H4X-4)(CO)(4)(dppm)] (X = H, NMe2, NO2, CN or C=C{Ru(PPh3)(2)Cp}) and [Co-2(mu-eta (2)-RC2C=C{Ru(PPh3)(2)Cp})(CO)(4)(dppm)] (R = H or SiMe3) have been prepared and characterised crystallograpically. Electrochemical and spectroscopic evidence has been used to help formulate an empirical MO scheme and thereby explain the nature of the electronic interactions that occur between the pendant group and the Co2C2 cluster core.
