to [(MeCN)3Co(CF3)3], [Co(MeCN)6][PF6]2, [(MeCN)4Co(CF3)2][PF6], [(MeCN)2(py)Co(CF3)3],
[(MeCN)(py)2Co(CF3)3], and [(MeCN)4Co(C4F8)][PF6] are described.
The unusual [(py)2(CF3)2Co(μ-CH2CN)]2 has also been identified as a decomposition
product of [(py)2(MeCN)Co(CF3)3].
The aforementioned compounds, all of which have been characterized
by X-ray crystallography, are expected to serve as useful precursors
to cobalt trifluoromethyl- and C4F8-containing
derivatives.
