Facile Access to Transition‐Metal–Carbonyl Complexes with an Amidinate‐Stabilized Chlorosilylene Ligand

Three transition‐metal–carbonyl complexes [V( L )(CO) 3 (Cp)] ( 1 ), [Co( L )(CO)(Cp)] ( 2 ), and [Co( L 2 )(CO) 3 ] + [CoCO) 4 ] − ( 3 ), each containing stable N‐heterocyclic‐chlorosilylene ligands ( L ; L =PhC(N t Bu) 2 SiCl) were synthesized from [V(CO) 4 (Cp)], [Co(CO) 2 (Cp)], and Co 2 (CO) 8 , respectively. Complexes 1 , 2 , 3 were characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, EI‐MS spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of compounds 1 , 2 , 3 were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.
