Hello everyone ,

I searched on the net the synthesis of CoCl(PPh3)3 , a cobalt compound but didn't find anything , i dont think this synthesis is difficult , can you help me ?

Thanks .

By analogy with Wilkinson's catalyst, perhaps CoCl₃ + PPh₃ in ethanol?

Or perhaps links like http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF00953474 (if your Russian is any good

This reference show structure of your compound.
May be you find also information or reference on its synthesis inside

Ok , but these links dont describe the synthesis of this compoud they describe chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium , if someone know the synthesis of CoCl(PPh3)3 personnally , thanks ..

Point taken, I don't have easy access to the literature at the moment, and was just giving some ideas. It's rare that you find exactly what you're after in the literature when making final compounds in my game, and if you can find them it means someone else has already made them, so next to useless for patent exemplification
