摘要

Reduction of the cobalt(II) chloride complex, Ph₂B(^tBuIm)₂Co(THF)Cl (1) in the presence of ^tBuN≡C affords the diamagnetic, square planar cobalt(I) complex Ph₂B(^tBuIm)₂Co(C≡N^tBu)₂ (2). This is a rare example of a 16-electron cobalt(I) complex that is structurally related to square planar noble metal complexes. Accordingly, the electronic structure of 2, as calculated by DFT, reveals that the HOMO is largely d_z² in character. Complex 2 is readily oxidized to its cobalt(II) congener [Ph₂B(^tBuIm)₂Co(C=N^tBu)₂]BPh₄ (3-BPh₄), whose EPR spectral parameters are characteristic of low-spin d⁷ with an unpaired electron in an orbital of d_z² parentage. This is also consistent with the results of DFT calculations. Despite its 16-electron configuration and the d_z² parentage of the HOMO, the only tractable reactions of 2 involve one electron oxidation to afford 3.
