Monophosphametallocenium cations of the cobalt group are easily prepared through metathesis of bis(η5-2,5-di-tert-butylphospholyl)lead (1) with [MCp*X2]2 (M = Co, Rh, Ir). Crystal structure analyses confirm their metallocene structures, and electrochemical studies show that [CoCp*(PC4H2tBu2)]+ (2) undergoes reversible reduction to a long-lived product at a potential of -0.74 V (vs SCE).
