The biphenyl ligand in the title compound 1 does not behave like an aromatic system with six conjugated double bonds but like a compound with three isolated diene moieties. It is isolable in the form of black crystals upon reaction of [(C 5 Me 5 CoCl) 2 ] with PhLi. The proposed structure is based on NMR spectroscopic findings.
