The reduction of CoBr2 by the Grignard reagent p-tolylmagnesium bromide in the presence of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)benzene (dbpz) resulted in the d 10, formally Co−1 anion, [Co(dpbz)2]−. The crystal structure of the [MgBr(THF)5]+ (THF is tetrahydrofuran) salt showed the anion to be pseudotetrahedral and packed in alternating layers of anions and cations.
