abstract

  • The cluster C6H5CCo3(CO)9, containing a capping C6H5C= group, was supported on SiO2-Al2O3by wet impregnation or dry mixing. The fate of the capping group was traced by monitoring the gas-phase liberation of cyclic C6 and C7 hydrocarbons under CO, H2, and CO/H2 atmospheres. For the wet-impregnated material, the presence of CO favors the cyclic C6 product (C-C bond cleavage) and inhibits hydrogenolysis of the capping group (C-Co bond cleavage). A model accounting for this behavior proposes that CO inserts between the C-Co bond of intact surface clusters. 1985, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
