{Bis[2-(diisopropylphosphanyl)ethyl]amine}carbonyl(tetrahydroborato)cobalt(I)

Abstract

In the structure of title borohydride pincer complex, [Co(BH4)(C16H37NP2)(CO)], the cobalt(I) metal exhibits a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry with the basal positions occupied by the P and N atoms of the tridentate ligand and by the C atom of the carbon monoxide ligand. In the crystal, molecules interact only by van der Waals forces.
