<i>The formation of carbon chains by the coupling of COx (X = 1 or 2) units on transition metals is a fundamental step relevant to Fischer-Tropsch catalysis. Fischer-Tropsch catalysis produces energy dense liquid hydrocarbons from synthesis gas (CO and H2) and has been a mainstay of the energy economy since its discovery nearly a century ago. Despite detailed studies aimed at elucidating the steps of catalysis, experimental evidence for chain growth (Cn to Cn+1 ; n > 2) from the reaction of CO with metal complexes is unprecedented. In this paper, we show that carbon chains can be grown from sequential reactions of CO or CO2 with a transition metal carbonyl complex. By exploiting the cooperative effect of transition and main group metals, we document the first example of chain propagation from sequential coupling of CO units (C1 to C3 to C4), along with the first example of incorporation of CO2 into the growing carbon chain.</i><br>

Abstract A new setup named Fast On-line Reaction Apparatus (FORA) is presented which allows for the efficient investigation and optimization of metal carbonyl complex (MCC) formation reactions under various reaction conditions. The setup contains a 252Cf-source producing short-lived Mo, Tc, Ru and Rh isotopes at a rate of a few atoms per second by its 3% spontaneous fission decay branch. Those atoms are transformed within FORA in-situ into volatile metal carbonyl complexes (MCCs) by using CO-containing carrier gases. Here, the design, operation and performance of FORA is discussed, revealing it as a suitable setup for performing single-atom chemistry studies. The influence of various gas-additives, such as CO2, CH4, H2, Ar, O2, H2O and ambient air, on the formation and transport of MCCs was investigated. O2, H2O and air were found to harm the formation and transport of MCCs in FORA, with H2O being the most severe. An exception is Tc, for which about 130 ppmv of H2O caused an increased production and transport of volatile compounds. The other gas-additives were not influencing the formation and transport efficiency of MCCs. Using an older setup called Miss Piggy based on a similar working principle as FORA, it was additionally investigated if gas-additives are mostly affecting the formation or only the transport stability of MCCs. It was found that mostly formation is impacted, as MCCs appear to be much less sensitive to reacting with gas-additives in comparison to the bare Mo, Tc, Ru and Rh atoms.

We have studied the ligand properties of cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2 at nickel(0). Several homoleptic nickel(0) alkene complexes react with the twofold molecular quantity of cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2 to afford the red crystalline homoleptic 1:2 complex Ni(cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2)2 (1). The reactions of Ni(cdt) or Ni(C2H4)3 with equimolar amounts of cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2 yield orange-yellow crystals of the homoleptic 1:1 complex {(μ-cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2)Ni}n (2). Sparingly soluble 2 is presumably oligomeric with the (PCH=CHP)Ni moiety π-bonded to another nickel(0) center. The π bridges are rather stable and are only cleaved by strong π acceptors. For example, 2 reacts with CO to yield the known carbonyl complex (cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2)Ni(CO)2 (3). In contrast to the above synthesis of 2, the 1:1 reaction of Ni(cod)2 with cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2 affords orange-red crystals of the alkene complex (cis-Ph2PCH = CHPPh2)Ni(cod) - THF (4) in moderate yield. Ni(1,5-hexadiene)2 reacts readily with cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2 (1:1) to give yellow (cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2)Ni(rac-η2,η2-C6H10) (5, 77%), which exhibits a fluxional diene coordination. That these thermally labile alkene complexes are formed at all, is ascribed to the chelate effect of the dienes. From the reaction of 2, 4 or 5 with ethyne, yellow microcrystals of (cis-Ph2PCH = CHPPh2)Ni(C2H2) · Et2O (6) are obtained.
