Pd-catalyzed Dithiolene–Aryl Cross-coupling Reaction of Aromatic Cyclopentadienylcobalt Dithiolene Complex
[CpCo(dithiolene)] complex with a boronate group, which is formulated as [CpCo{S 2 C 2 (Ph)(Bpm)}] (1, Bpin = 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaboronate), was prepared from the one-pot reaction of [CpCo(CO) 2 ], elemental sulfur, and boronated alkyne. 1 underwent Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions with 3-bromopyridine or 9-bromoanthracene.
