Kinetics and Mechanisms of Substitution Reactions of Dicobalt Octacarbonyl

Reaction of Co(,2)(CO)(,8) with bases of low nucleophilicity, e.g. P(CH(,2)CH(,2)CN)(,3) or P(O-i-Pr)(,3), or large steric requirement, e.g. P(t-Bu)(,3), results in formation of substituted dinuclear species of the form Co(,2)(CO)(,7)L and Co(,2)(CO)(,6)L(,2). These reactions exhibit first order dependence on concentration of carbonyl, no dependence on concentration of base, and inhibition of rate of reaction by added CO.
