Abstract
The title compound was made by the reaction of the CpCo-complex of 2,3,7,8-tetrakis(trimethylsilyl) linear [3]phenylene, in which the metal coordinates one of the cyclobutadiene rings, with CpCo(C2H4)2. Because of its relative stability, a syn-dicobalt-bound configuration is indicated rather than its anti alternative.

2,3,7,8-Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl) linear [3]phenylene(CpCo)2 6In a glovebox, 2,3,7,8-tetrakis(trimethylsilyl) linear [3]phenylene(CpCo) 1 (85 mg, 0.133 mmol) and CpCo(C2H4)2 (25 mg, 0.139 mmol) were added to a Schlenk flask. The flask was taken out of the glove box, and freshly distilled degassed benzene (15 mL) was added under N2. The mixture was heated to 70 °C in an oil bath for 23 h and then cooled to r.t. The solvent was removed in vacuo, furnishing a black residue that was filtered rapidly through a plug of neutral alumina (activity III; 2.5 × 3.5 cm), eluting with hexanes–THF (100:1) under N2. The solvents were again removed in vacuo, and the ensuing black residue was crystallized from acetone–EtOAc (100:1) at –78 °C to give reddish-black crystals; yield: 57 mg (56%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, acetone-d
6): δ = 7.36 (s, 4 H), 4.89 (m, 4 H), 4.81 (s, 2 H), 0.39 (s, 36 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, acetone-d
6): δ = 150.5, 145.4, 125.9, 82.8, 57.1, 53.7, 2.66. MS (FAB): m/z = 762 ([M+]). HRMS (EI, 70 eV): m/z [M+] calcd for C40H52Co2Si4: 762.1810; found: 762.1791. UV/Vis (hexane): λmax (log ε) = 221 (3.36, sh), 244 (3.44), 286 (3.63), 386 (2.79, sh), 439 nm (2.58).
