“…The reactions of Co 2 (CO) 8 , Co 2 (CO) 6 L (L = pol, (1), L = bud (1,4-butyn-diol, HOCH 2 C"CCH 2 OH), (2), L = mbo (2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol, HC"CC(CH 3 ) 2 OH), (3)) with 2(diphenylphosphino)ethyl-triethoysilane [Ph 2 PCH 2 CH 2 Si(OCH 2 CH 3 ) 3 ] (dpts) and tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine [P(CH 2 OH) 3 ] (thp) were also examined. These ligands could ensure a stable grafting to silicabased materials.…”
