Abstract
Abstract Hydrocarbon fuel compositions containing at least one divalent tetracoordinated cobalt compound represented by the structure ##STR1## wherein: R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are each independently selected from hydrogen and C 1-6 alkyl, and R 4 is a branched C 3-6 alkyl wherein the branching is on either or both of the number 1 and 2 carbon atoms of said alkyl group.
