Amongst these are the new compounds ClGe[Co(CO)₄]₃, Br₂Ge[Co(CO)₄]₂, BrGe[Co(CO)₄]₃, MeGeCl₂Co(CO)₄, MeGeBr₂Co(CO)₄, MeGeCl[Co(CO)₄]₂, MeGeBr[Co(CO)₄]₂, GeCo₄(CO)₁₄ and Ge[Co(CO)₄]₄. There have also been indications of MeGe[Co(CO)₄]₃ and some spectroscopic data have been collected for Me₂GeBrCo(CO)₄. The proposed configuration for GeCo₄(CO)₁₄ is a novel extension of the already-established germanium – bridged dicobalt carbonyl derivatives. The relationships between and interconversions of three tetracobalt derivatives of Germanium are discussed. A review of Group IVB - Cobalt carbonyl derivatives is presented along with a discussion of the mass and infrared spectra of compounds prepared in this work. Some of the chlorogermyl cobalt carbonyl derivatives prepared in this work have been reacted with NaMn(CO)₅. Under this competition situation, metal carbonyl exchange has been found to be favoured over alkali halide elimination. e.g. : ClGe[Co(CO)₄]₃ + 3NaMn(CO)₅ → ClGe[Mn(CO)₅]₃ + 3NaCo(CO)₄ However, this system is subject to substituent effects. Preliminary studies on the Germanium derivatives of Rhenium and Vanadium carbonyls are also reported. en The University of Waikato All items in Research Commons are provided for private study and research purposes and are protected by copyright with all rights reserved unless otherwise indicated.
