Within the past four decades, matrix isolation spectroscopy has emerged as the method of choice for obtaining direct structural information on benzynes and related dehydroaromatics. In combination with quantum chemical computations, detailed insight into the structure and reactivity of di-, tri-, and tetradehydrobenzenes has been obtained. This Review focuses on rather recent developments in aryne chemistry with a special emphasis on the matrix isolation of tridehydrobenzenes and related systems.

Abstract The title compound was prepared from the pure elements by sintering. The crystal structure was investigated by means of powder X-ray diffraction data. Ho5Pd19P12 exhibits the hexagonal Ho5Ni19P12-type structure with space group P 6 ‾ 2 m $P‾{6}2m$ , a = 13.1342(2), c = 3.9839(1) Å, R I = 0.060, R p = 0.080. The crystal structure can be described as a combination of two types of the structural units, [HoPd6P3] and [Ho3Pd10P6], respectively, mutually displaced by 1/2 along the crystallographic c axis. Quantum chemical calculations have been performed to analyze the electronic structure and provide deeper insight into the structure-property relationships. The results of the quantum chemical calculations indicate that the material features metallic bonding between Ho and Pd and covalent bonding between Pd and P.

The paper describes a novel experimental approach to improving sensitivity to weak absorption in matrix isolation and thin film spectroscopy. The matrix or film is grown on the surface of an integrating sphere, in which the multiply reflected light correspondingly multipasses the sample film. The quantitative photometric behavior of the sphere is satisfactorily described by extending standard theory. Enhancement of absorption by a factor of at least 20 is possible and is demonstrated. The sphere has a number of useful advantages over other multipass techniques, particularly in matrix isolation spectroscopy.

Six compounds RO(H)C=C(X)CN with R = CH3 or C2H5 and X = CO2CH3, CO2C2H5 or CN are characterized by some spectral data (IR, UV, 1H NMR - solvent effect). The PMR spectra did not confirm the presence of two geometrical isomers. Employing the quantum chemical calculations of the substance with R = CH3 and X = CO2CH3 based on EHT, PPP, HMO and CNDO/2, the geometrical isomerism is discussed in relation to the experimental dipole moments. The HMO indices of chemical reactivity agree with our present synthetic insight into nucleophilic substitution of the derivatives under study.

The 12 cage-anchoring points of the very stable icosahedral ortho-, meta-, and para-carborane allow the design of multidimensional architectures provided new self-assembling routes are devised. We provide bases for constructing carborane molecular architectures through high-level quantum chemical computations. We consider ejection mechanisms for the inner atom/ion in endohedral carborane complexes, singlet-triplet energy gaps in carborane biradicals, as well as geometry reorganization in carborane neutral and dianionic triplet states. These features, explored in monomers, are starting points for the design of molecular architectures based on electronic structure properties of carborane assemblies.
