The 16-electron fragment [(PP3)Co]+ obtained in situ from the dinitrogen complex [(PP3)Co(N2)]BPh4 (2) reacts in tetrahydrofuran with terminal alkynes, HC≡CR, yielding π-alkyne adducts of the type [(PP3)CO(π-HO≡CR)]+ and vinylidene complexes [(PP3)Co{C=C(H)R}]+ as kinetic and thermodynamic products, respectively (R = H, Ph, n-C3H7, n-C5H11, CMe3, SiMe3; PP3 = P(CH2CH2PPh2)3). Between the π-alkyne and vinylidene forms, the system evolves through a third species, namely the Co(III) hydride alkynyl complexes [(PP3)Co(H)(C≡CR)]+, which are thermodynamically favored over the π-alkyne complexes and disfavored over the vinylidene ones. The sequence Co(π-HC≡CR) → Co(H)(C≡CR) → Co{C=C(H)R} is controlled by the temperature, so that by a judicious choice of this parameter it is possible to freeze the reactions at any of the three steps. Spectroscopic evidence is provided for the formation of the π-alkyne adducts whereas both the hydride alkynyl and vinylidene complexes have been isolated in the solid state and completely characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction techniques. The conversion of the hydride alkynyl complexes to the vinylidene isomers is affected inter alia by the nature of the alkyne substituent. In particular, the temperature at which the conversion occurs increases in the order SiMe3 > Ph > H ? CMe3 > n-C3H7 ? n-C5H11. Accordingly, the electronic effects seem to prevail over the steric ones in governing the tautomeric rearrangement. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies show that (i) the hydride alkynyl to vinylidene rearrangement is first order in the Co(III) hydride alkynyl complexes and (ii) the rearrangement most likely proceeds via a dissociative intramolecular 1,3-hydrogen shift pathway. The hydride alkynyl to vinylidene rearrangement occurs also in the solid state at relatively low temperatures (from 303 K for R = CMe3 to 363 K for R = SiMe3) and depends again on the nature of the 1-alkyne terminal substituent.
Solid-state organometallic chemistry of tripodal (polyphosphine)metal complexes. C-H activation reactions at cobalt(I) encapsulated into the tetraphosphine P(CH2CH2PPh2)3

The solid-vapor reactions of [(PP3)Co(N2)]-BPh4 with HC≡HC, H2C=CH2, CH2O, MeCHO, and CO are described (PP3 = P(CH2CH2PPh2)3). The organic molecules either displace N2, forming a 1:1 complex, or undergo C-H bond cleavage at cobalt to give intermediates that may optionally eliminate H2 or promote hydrogen transfer from metal to coordinated organic ligand.

The reactions of HC≡CR (R = CO2Et, Ph, n-C5H11) with the Co(I) hydride [(PP3)CoH] (1) are influenced by a number of factors, including stoichiometry, alkyne substituent, and temperature (PP3 = P-(CHs
