The synthesis, spectroscopic properties, comparative electrochemical behavior in CHCl3 vs CH2Cl2, and X-ray crystal structure of p-di-n-butyl-tetraphenyl-carbo-benzene are described. The selectivity of preparation of the ultimate [6]pericyclynediol precursor has been examined by comparing the reactivity of the [6]pericyclynedione substrate with four n-Bu-MXn nucleophiles involving more or less halogenated metal centers MXn (0 ≤ n ≤ 2): Li, MgBr, MgCl, CeCl2/LiCl. The cerium reagent is found to be the most efficient, giving approximately twice the yield given by Grignard reagents in the target diadduct (90% vs 51%–53%). The dibutyl-carbo-benzene product happens to be soluble in both CHCl3 and CH2Cl2: cyclic voltammograms of either solution exhibit almost identical peak potentials with reduced reversibility of the redox processes in CHCl3.

In this paper, (2E,6E)-2,6-Bis(2,3,4-tri-methoxy -benzylidene)cyclohexanone (omitted as tmbcho) (1) was obtained by the reaction of acetic acid, tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexanone and 2,3,4-tri-methoxy-benzaldehyde. Three non-classic hydrogen bonds were observed in the compound. X-ray crystallography shows that the crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C-H•••π interactions and it contains plenty of conjugated double bonds. The title compound was characterized by UV-vis and fluorescent spectral studies.

Mononuclear cobalt(o) complexes containing olefin and trimethylphosphane ligands Co(olefin)(PMe3)3 (olefin = C2H4 (1), C3H6 (2), cyclopentene (3), trans-1,2-diphenylethene (4), tetrafluorobenzo-bicyclo-(2.2.2)-octadiene (5)), are obtained from CoCl2 by reaction with magnesium in the presence of the ligands or by substitution of 3 with olefin. X-ray crystal structure determinations of 4 and 5 show a distorted tetrahedral arrangement of ligands around the cobalt atom. Chemical and spectroscopic properties are consistent with a paramagnetic valence state of the compounds in solution. By reaction with carbon monoxide a dicobalt complex is formed, while azobenzene gives paramagnetic Co(N2Ph2)(PMe3)2.

Mononuclear cobalt(0) complexes containing diolefin and trimethylphosphane ligands Co(cycloocta-1,5-diene)(PMe3)2 and Co[(CH2=CHMe2Si)2O](PMe3)2 are obtained from CoCl2 by reaction with magnesium in the presence of the ligands or by substitution of cobalt(olefin)tris- (trimethylphosphane) with diolefin. Chemical and spectroscopic properties confirm the para- magnetic valence state of the compounds in solution. An X-Ray crystal structure determination of Co[(CH2=CHMe2Si)2O](PMe3)2 shows a tetrahedral arrangement of ligand functions around the cobalt atom. With butadiene a diamagnetic dinuclear complex [Co(C4H6)(PMe3)3]2 is obtained containing π-allyl co-ordination of two Co(PMe3)3 units to a linear dimer of butadiene

Abstract The synthesis and the spectroscopic properties of the title compounds Cp(CO)2FeBiX2 (with X = SC(S)NEt 2 and SC(S)OMe) are described. The crystal structure of Cp(CO)2FeBi[SC(S)NEt2]2 was investigated by an X-ray analysis.
