Abstract
⺠The butadiene derivatives (C4H6)Co2(CO)n (n = 6, 5, 4, 3, 2) have been investigated by density functional theory. ⺠Butadiene dissociation from (C4H6)2Co2(CO)4 is energetically favored over CO dissociation by â¼8 kcal/mol. ⺠The B3LYP method predicts essentially equal CO and butadiene dissociation energies from (C4H6)2Co2(CO)n (n = 3, 2).
