67. Unfortunately, complexes 6a-c failed to undergo carbon-ylation, even under forcing conditions (e.g., high CO pressureand elevated temperatures). These results are consistent withthe reversibility of their oxidations: steric shielding around themetal may prevent both ligand coordination and associativedisproportionation.
