Complexes of the type PhSCo(CO)2L2 (1; L =phosphine or phosphite) and the complex MeOCS2Co(CO)2(PPh2ⁱBu)2 (5) have been prepared from CoCl2<*>6H20, CO, the appriopriate phosphine or phosphite, and PhSH + NaOMe or MeOCS2K, respectively.The crystal structures of 1a (L =PPh2OMe) and 5<*>MeCN have been determined.These compounds are the first structurally characterized cobalt carbonyl complexes containing a monodentate thiolate or xanthate group.
