40. The structure of cobalt-alkyne complex 55 was not unambiguously assigned by NMR spectroscopy because the material was used immediately in the subsequent Nicholas reaction. Due to the similarity in TLC behavior to all of the other cobalt-alkyne complexes prepared in our lab, we are confident that 55 was successfully synthesized.
