The reaction of (η(5)-C(5)H(5))Co(PPh(3))(2) with 1,3-bis(isopropyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (Im(i)Pr(2)) leads to the formation of (η(5)-C(5)H(5))Co(PPh(3))(Im(i)Pr(2)). In a similar fashion (η(5)-C(5)H(5))Co(Im(i)Pr(2))(CO) is formed from (η(5)-C(5)H(5))Co(CO)(2). The barrier to rotation about the Co-C(carbene) bond in the latter complex has been determined by variable-temperature (1)H NMR spectroscopy (13.6 kcal/mol) and by computation (13.3 kcal/mol). The structural and dynamic properties of (η(5) ...[more]
