The conformations of alkylcobalt tricarbonyltertiary phosphine complexes,ROC(O)CH2Co(CO)3L(L= PPh3; R = Me, Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, s-Bu, t-Bu, c-Hex(twomodifications), CH2Ph,(S)-{[EtOC(O)]CH(Me)},(1S,2R,5S)-menthyl,(1R,2S,5R)-menthyl; L =P(1S,2S,5R-menthyl)Ph2, R = i-Pr), have been studied incrystallinephases by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The geometries of the complexes are of a trigonal-bipyramidal typewith the non-carbonyl ligands in the two axial positions.We find that the (chiral) conformations of the alkylligand and the phosphine group develop concertedly.
