| Description | Applications of transition metal chemistry serve as valuable tools for synthetic chemists. An important example is $Co_{2}(CO)_{8}$, a well known reagent of versatile and still increasing utility since its discovery by L. Mond et al. in 1910. [ 1 ] The generation of moderately air stable Co-acetylene complexes is the key property of this reagent. These complexes are formed at ambient temperature by stirring solutions of $Co_{2}(CO)_{8}$ and the alkyne (Figure 1). Purification by silica gel chromatography affords the pure products. Figure 1 The synthesis of $Co_{2}(CO)_{8}$ usually requires high pressures of CO or $CO/H_{2}$ depending on the oxidation state of the staring material. [ 2 ] Moreover $Co_{2}(CO)_{8}$ is commercially available from all major suppliers and often no further purification is necessary. |
