Abstract

A novel, well-defined molecular Cp*Co^III complex was isolated and structurally characterized for the first time. The efficiency of this cobalt catalyst was demonstrated in the alcohol dehydrogenation and dehydrative coupling of secondary alcohols under mild conditions into ketones and ethers, respectively.

Keywords: alcohols; catalysis; cobalt; ethers; ketones.
