The three-coordinate, T-shaped Co(I) complex, PNPCo (PNP = [(tBu2PCH2SiMe2)2N-], is readily synthesized by magnesium reduction of divalent PNPCoCl. Triplet (S = 1) PNPCo is coordinatively and electronically unsaturated and undergoes a thermally reversible oxidative addition reaction with H2, producing trivalent PNPCo(H)2. In contrast, the reaction with excess primary silane PhSiH3 quantitatively generates the base-stabilized silylene Co(V) compound {kappa2-tBu2PCH2Me2SiNSiMe2CH2tBu2P(H)Si=}Co(H)3(SiH2Ph)2.
三配位的T形钴(I)配合物PNPCo(PNP = [(tBu2PCH2SiMe2)2N-])可通过二价PNPCoCl的镁还原轻松合成。三线态(S = 1)PNPCo在配位和电子方面不饱和,并与H2发生热可逆氧化加成反应,生成三价PNPCo(H)2。相比之下,与过量的伯硅烷PhSiH3反应可定量生成碱稳定的甲硅烯钴(V)化合物{κ2-tBu2PCH2Me2SiNSiMe2CH2tBu2P(H)Si=}Co(H)3(SiH2Ph)2。
