Kinetic control of crystal growth in the presence of a coordinating ligand is critical for the formation of a new structure of elemental cobalt (ε-cobalt, the unit cell with the two different types of cobalt atoms is shown), which was discovered upon analyzing the metallic powder produced by the thermal decomposition of Co2(CO)8 in solution in the presence of trioctylphosphane oxide TOPO, Eq. (1).
