Abstract

Complexes of the type L3CoCH3 have been prepared in which L = Ph3P, P2PCH3, PhP(CH3)2, Ph2PGe(CH3)3, Ph2PSn(CH3)3, Ph3As, and R = CH3, Ph, and (CH3)3Si. Decomposition of these complexes under mild conditions in several solvents has been studied. Among the identified products are benzene, toluene, biphenyl, and rearranged phosphines, such as Ph3P from [Ph2PCH3]3CoCH3 or Ph2PCH3 from [Ph2PGe(CH3)3]3CoCH3.
