Structural determination of a cobalt(III) complex with a Co to tertiary carbon bond: how long can a Co–C bond be?
Abstract
The compound trans-adamantylbis(dimethylglyoximato)(1-methylimidazole)cobalt(III), which has the longest accurately determined Co–C bond of 2.154(5)Å, is the first structurally characterized organocobalt B12 model compound with Co to tertiary carbon bond.
