Identifying Intermediates of Sequential Electron and Hydrogen Loss from a Dicarbonylcobalt Hydride Complex1. Issue 26 (10th May 2013) - Krafft, Michael J.
Abstract Step by step: Electron‐ and hydrogen‐transfer steps are documented IR‐spectroelectrochemically and structurally for the H2‐producing oxidation of a dicarbonylcobalt hydride complex modified by the sterically protecting 1, 1′‐bis(diisopropylphosphino)ferrocene. The series complements the mechanism discussed for water‐reducing cobalt compounds with less π‐accepting ligands.
