Abstract
WE have attempted to prepare organo-cobalt compounds by various methods, including thermal decomposition of cobalt p-toluenesulphinate, thermal and copper catalysed decomposition of addition compounds of cobalt chloride and diazonium chlorides and of phenyldiazonium cobaltinitrite1, and refluxing diphenyliodonium iodide with finely divided cobalt powder in n-propanol2. All these experiments were unsuccessful, although in some cases traces of benzenesoluble organic materials with varying cobalt contents were obtained.
