Cu(I), Ag(I) complexes containing (η 5-cyclopentadienyl) [η 5-1-(diphenylphosphino) cyclopentadienyl] cobaltocenium

{Cu4Br5[(η 5-C5H4PPh2)(η 5-C5H5)Co]4}[PF6]3, [(η 5-C5H4PPh2)(η 5-C5H5)Co]+ = ((η 5-cyclopentadienyl)[η 5-1-(diphenylphosphino) cyclopentadienyl] cobaltocenium) and {Ag(NO3)(CH3COCH3)[(η 5-C5H4PPh2)(η 5-C5H5)Co]} n [PF6] n have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction techniques, and by cyclic voltammetry. {Cu4Br5[(η 5-C5H4PPh2)(η 5-C5H5)Co]4}[PF6]3 contains four coplanar copper atoms bridged by four μ-Br and one central μ 4-Br occupying the apex of a square pyramid, and {Ag(NO3)(CH3COCH3)[(η 5-C5H4PPh2)(η 5-C5H5)Co]} n [PF6] n affording a 1-D coordination zigzag polymer.

1-Diphenyl­phosphino-1′-(diphenyl­phosphinoyl)cobaltocenium hexa­fluorido­phosphate

The title compound, [Co(C17H14OP)(C17H14P)]PF6, was obtained unintentionally as the product of an attempted synthesis of [1,1′-bis(oxodiphenylphosphoranyl)cobaltocenium] hexafluoridophosphate. The O atom of the oxo group is disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.65:0.35. The crystal structure contains weak intermolecular C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, connecting the components of the structure into chains parallel to [010].
