Abstract

The cobalt complex [{K(18-crown-6)}2(C5H 5)]- [Co(C8H12)2](THF)2 (3) has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal structure determination. The crystal structure of Co(C8H12)(C 8H13) (2) has been reinvestigated and compared with the structure of 3. The 1, 5-cyclooctadiene (C8H12) and C 8H13 ligands are coordinated in an η4 and η3 fashion, respectively. The cyclopentadienyl anion in [{K(18-crown-6)}2(C5H5)]+ in 3 is η5-coordinated to the two crown ether-encapsulated potassium cations.
