The Photochemical and Thermal Interconversion of Some Cyclopentadienone Dimers

TLDR
In this paper, thermal and photochemical interconversions of isomeric diketones by skeletal rearrangements have been established to the extent summarized in schemes 2 and 3, and the intramolecular cycloaddition was found to be reversible photochemically.
Abstract
In continuation of previous work on cyclopentadienone dimers [3], thermal and photochemical interconversions of the isomeric diketones 1, 3, and 5 by skeletal rearrangements have been established to the extent summarized in schemes 2 and 3, and the intramolecular [2+2] cycloaddition 1 2 was found to be reversible photochemically.

Synthese von Pentafulvalen durch oxidative Kupplung von Cyclopentadienid mittels Kupfer(II)-chlorid

TL;DR: In this article, a simple general synthetic concept for fulvalenes is outlined, consisting in an oxidative coupling of "Huckel anions" like 2 and 7 to 1, 1′-dihydrofulvalenes 10 with Ag(I) or Cu(II) salts, followed by deprotonation and oxidation.

Radical cations of cyclopentadiene dimers—facets of an intriguing energy surface

TL;DR: The radical cations of various cyclopentadiene dimers can be generated by photoinduced electron transfer to strong electron acceptors as discussed by the authors, and nuclear spin polarization effects observed during these reactions provide insight into the radical cation structures.
