Silyl substituents stabilize ketenes, and permit the preparation of persistent bisketenes, which show characteristic 13C, 17O, and 29Si NMR chemical shifts. The structures and conformations of bisketenes have been examined, as well as their interconversion with cyclobutenediones. A tetraketene has been prepared, and the hydration reactivity of carbon suboxide has been measured. Key words: bisketenes, structures and conformations; cyclobutenedione interconversion.

Carbon-13 chemical shifts of alkene carbons are observed in the ranges 78–109 ppm (Cα) and 154–164 ppm (Cβ) for a series of 11 2-acylidene-3,5-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, 3 2-acylidene-3-alkyl-2,3-dihydrobenzothiazoles, and 2 2-acylidene-3-alkyl-2,3-dihydrobenzoselenazoles of known geometry, indicating appreciable charge polarization in these compounds as in other push–pull olefins. Substitution that promotes more extensive charge delocalization results in the Cα signal shifting to the higher-frequency end of the chemical shift range. The observed shifts are compared with those calculated according to the Pretsch scheme. Key words: carbon-13 NMR, chemical shifts, push–pull olefins, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, benzothiazoles, benzoselenazoles.

X-ray crystal structures are reported for two symmetrical aliphatic α,α'-dibromo ketones: a meso diastereomer of 3,5-dibromo–2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptan-4-one, and a rac isomer of 4,6-dibromo–2,2,3,3,7,7,8,8-octamethylnonan-5-one. Using these secure assignments and a previously confirmed structure for the diastereomers of 2,4-dibromopentan-3-one, we show in this study that gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) retention times (meso > rac) can be used to confidently assign the diastereomers for a range of symmetrical and unsymmetrical aliphatic α,α'-dibromo ketones. 1H NMR chemical shifts for the >CHBr hydrogen(s) can also be corroboratively used for assignment purposes (δracH > δmesoH).Key words: α,α'-dibromo ketones, X-ray crystal structures, GLC retention times, isomer assignment

Exhaustive benchmark DFT calculations reveal that the non-relativistic GIAO-PBE0/SARC-ZORA(Pt)∪6-31+G(d)(E) computational protocol predicts accurate 195Pt NMR chemical shifts for a wide range of square planar Pt(ii) and octahedral Pt(iv) anticancer agents.
