Novel Triple-Decker Sandwich Complex with a Six-Membered [B3Co2(mu(4)-Te)] Ring as the Middle Deck
Thermolysis of nido - [(Cp*Mo)(2)B4TeClH5], with an excess of Co-2(CO)(8) at room temperature, afforded a triple-decker sandwich complex [(Cp*Mo)(2){mu-eta(6):eta(6)-B3H3TeCo2(CO)(5)}] (4), which represents an unsaturated 24-valence-electron sandwich cluster in which the middle deck is composed of B, Co, and a heavy group 16 element.
