Unprecedented nucleophilic activation of coordinated carbon monoxide is achieved with [CpCo(dppe)CO]2+, The synthesis of this and closely related dications is reported along with the crystal structure of [CpCo(dppe)CO](PF6)2·(CH3) 2CO. Crystal data: monoclinic, P21/c; a = 13.308 (3) A?, b = 15.129 (4) A?, c = 20.266 (8) A?; β = 106.92 (2)°; V = 3903 (2) A?3; Z = 4; RF = 7.5%, RwF = 7.2%. The unusual reactivity of CO is demonstrated by direct attack on CO by relatively unreactive nucleophiles, such as aniline and higher alcohols. The arylcarbamoyl complex from aniline, {CpCo(dppe)[C(O)NHC6H5]}+, whose molecular structure is reported as the PF6-·CH3C(O)OC2H5 salt, is the first synthesized by direct attack on CO. Crystal data: monoclinic, C21/c, a = 22.553 (5) A?, b = 23.345 (6) A?, c = 19.303 (6) A?; β = 111.20 (2)°; V = 9475 (4) A?3; Z = 8; RF = 10.5% RwF = 10.9%. An unusual type of angular disorder of the Cp ring is present in this complex. Soft nucleophiles displace CO from [CpCo(dppe)CO]2+. The product of the reaction with C6H5SH produces a Co-S bond which was structurally characterized in the case of [CpCo(dppp)-(SC6H5)]PF6·C 6H6·(CH3)2CO. Crystal data: monoclinic, P21/c; a = 14.701 (3) A?, b = 16.276 (6) A?, c = 19.373 (3) A?; β = 105.24 (1)°; V = 4472 (2) A?3; Z = 4; RF = 5.2%, RwF = 5.4%.
