Abstract
In the title compound, [Co4(C5H5)4(μ3-CCH2SiMe3)(μ3-H)], the Co atoms form a distorted tetrahedron with the ethylidyne moiety bridging three of the Co atoms as well as the hydrido ligand also bridging three of the Co atoms. The Co—Co bond lengths in the Co4tetrahedron vary from 2.3844 (4) to 2.4608 (4) Å. Each Co atom is additionally η5-bonded to a cyclopentadienyl (Cp) anion.
