Photochemical reactions of hexacarbonyl-μ-η5:5-fulvalene-dimolybdenum (1) with 1,3-butadiene (a), 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (b), E-1,3-pentadiene (c), 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (d), and E-3-methyl-1,3-pentadiene (e) yield the corresponding tetracarbonyl-η4-s-cisdiene-μ-η5:5-fulvalene-dimolybdenum complexes 3a-3e. In addition to 3a also η4-s-trans1,3-butadiene-tetracarbonyl-μ-η5:5-fulvalene-dimolybdenum (4) is formed. Similarily hexacarbonyl-μ-η5:5-fulvalene-ditungsten (2) forms with a and b tetracarbonyl-η4-s-cis-diene-μ-η5:5-fulvalene-ditungsten (5a, 5b) and bis(η4-s-cis-1,3-butadiene)-dicarbonyl-μ-η5:5-fulvalene-ditungsten (6). The complexes 3b —3e and also 5b are obtained as mixtures of the o- and u-isomers. Only for tetracarbonyl-η4-cis-2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene-μ-η5:5-fulvalene-dimolybdenum (3d) an interconversion of the o- and u-isomers is observed with an energy barrier of ΔG183# = 73.9 kJ/mol. Both isomers of 3d show hindered inversions with energy barriers of ΔG#313 = 66.1 kJ/mol (u-3d) and ΔG183# = 36.4 kJ/mol (o-3d). For o-3d the crystal and molecular structure was determined by an X-ray diffraction analysis. Hexacarbonylµ — η5:5-bis(cyclopentadiendiyl)methane-dimolybdenum (7), hexacarbonyl-μ-η5:5-bis(cyclopentadiendiyl)ethane-dimolybdenum and hexacarbonyl-μ-η5:5-bis(cyclopentadiendiyl)propane-dimolybdenum do not react with conjugated dienes. Upon UV irradiation 7 looses CO and forms by dimerization octacarbonyl-bis(μ-η5:5-(cyclopentadiendiyl-cyclopentadien-triyl)methane)-dihydrido-tetramolybdenum (8).

Structural Aspects

The periodic structure external to the outer membrane of Spirillum serpens VHA has been isolated by similar procedures to those used by Buckmire and Murray (1). From SDS gel electrophoresis, we have found that the isolated fragments contain several protein components, and that the crystalline structure is composed of a glycoprotein component with a molecular weight of ∽ 140,000 daltons (2). Under an electron microscopic examination, we have visualized the hexagonally-packed glycoprotein subunits, as well as the bilayer profile of the outer membrane. In this paper, we will discuss some structural aspects of the crystalline glycoproteins, based on computer-reconstructed images of the external cell wall fragments.The specimens were prepared for electron microscopy in two ways: negatively stained with 1% PTA, and maintained in a frozen-hydrated state (3). The micrographs were taken with a JEM-100B electron microscope with a field emission gun. The minimum exposure technique was essential for imaging the frozen- hydrated specimens.
