Some chiral alkyne-cobalt complexes

The trimethyl phosphite substituted pentacarbonylpropargyldicobalt cation, CCH2)Co2(CO)5L>+ , is significantly more stable than its phosphine analogues (L = PPh3, PBu3), and has been converted to a series of ethers, (CHCCH2OR)Co(CO)5L.Reaction of the (cholesteryl propargyl ether)hexacarbonyldicobalt complex with trimethyl phosphite proceeds without stereoselectivity, and the product suffers metal-carbon rather than oxygen-carbon cleavage on treatment with acid.
