Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, infrared evidence was presented for the formation of co-ordinatively unsaturated species [ML(CO)2][ML = Cr-(C6H6), Mn(η-C5H5), or Fe{C(C4H4), or F(CH2)H3}] on the u.v. photolysis of dinitrogen complexes at 12 K.
Abstract: Infrared evidence is presented for the formation of co-ordinatively unsaturated species [ML(CO)2][ML = Cr-(η-C6H6), Mn(η-C5H5), or Fe(η-C4H4), or Fe{C(CH2)H3}] on the u.v. photolysis of [ML(CO)3] complexes in argon and methane matrices, and dinitrogen complexes [ML(CO)2(N2)] in nitrogen matrices at 12 K. The primary photolysis step is readily reversed by visible light for [ML(CO)2] species of Cr and Fe, but not for Mn. The results are discussed in relation to the postulate of co-ordinatively unsaturated species as intermediates in the solution-phase substitution reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, reaction products from the thermal rearrangement of cobalt complexed 1,2-diethynyl-cyclobutadienes were tentatively identified by spectral investigation of mixtures resulting from the photodesilation of all acetylenic silyl groups followed by column chromatography on neutral alumina.
Abstract: Reaction products from the thermal rearrangement of cobalt complexed 1,2-diethynyl-cyclobutadienes were tentatively identified by spectral investigation of mixtures resulting from the photodesilation of all acetylenic silyl groups followed by column chromatography on neutral alumina. Mass spectral and chemical properties were used for the relative structure assignments. Several mechanisms are suggested but the true identity of the intermediates will require further research.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cyclobutadiene derivative stabilized by steric effects which is isolable at room temperature is presented. But its properties are not discussed, except that it is not stable in the presence of sterics.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of dicarbonylbis(tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)molybdenum has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data collected by counter methods.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: For the rhodium analogue, a cyclobutadiene-type structure containing a unique trapezoidal η4-C4-ring has been unequivocally established by means of X-ray diffraction techniques.
Abstract: Interactions of the diacetylene 2,2′-bis(phenylethynyl)biphenyl with the metal carbonyls [(η5-C5H5)-Co(CO)2], [(η5-C5H5)Rh(CO)2], and [Fe(CO)5] proceed via intramolecular cyclodimerization to form the respective η4-1,2-diphenylcyclobuta[l]phenanthrene complexes in each case; for the rhodium analogue, a cyclobutadiene-type structure containing a unique trapezoidal η4-C4-ring has been unequivocally established by means of X-ray diffraction techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, the tricarbonyliron group was removed from the symmetrical tropone derivative (1,7,8,9-η-bicyclo[5,2,0]nona-1(7),2,5,8-tetraen-4-one), which can be trapped as a Diels-Alder adduct with cyclopentadiene.
Abstract: The compounds (1,7,8,9-η-bicyclo[5,2,0]nonatetraenyl hexafluorophosphate)tricarbonyliron (9), (1,7,8,9-η-bicyclo[5,2,0]nona- 1(7),2,5,8-tetraen-4-one)tricarbonyliron (10), and (1,7,8,9-η-bicyclo- [5,2,0]nona-1(7),3,5,8-tetraen-2-one)tricarbonyliron (11) have been prepared. The cation (9) undergoes nucleophilic capture at C2, the position α to the coordinated cyclobutadiene ring. Oxidative removal of the tricarbonyliron group from the symmetrical tropone derivative (10) generates bicyclo-[5,2,0]nona-1(7),2,5,8-tetraen-4-one, which can be trapped as a Diels-Alder adduct with cyclopentadiene.
