[2] [1] Illustrative of the unusual complexes made possible with these bulky ligands is molecular iron nitrido complex (t Bu 3 C 5 H 2) 2 Fe 2 N 2. [3] In contrast to (C 5 Me 5) 2 Ir 2 Cl 4, (t Bu 3 C 5 H 2)IrCl 2 is monomeric. [4]
1,2,3,4,5-Pentakis(4-butylphenyl)-1,3-cyclopentadiene is an organochemical compound from the diene group and a cyclopentadiene derivative. The anion of this compound is used as a sterically demanding ligand, often abbreviated as Cp [BIG] , in the organometallic chemistry of sandwich compounds .
NiCl 2 + 2 NaC 5 H 5 → Ni(C 5 H 5) 2 + 2 NaCl Organometallic complexes that include both the cyclopentadienyl anion and cyclopentadiene itself are known, one example of which is the rhodocene derivative produced from the rhodocene monomer in protic solvents .
Typical examples of this type of complex are group 14 metal complexes such as CpSiMe 3. An example of both is (Cp 2 Fe(CO) 2). It is probable that η 1-Cp complexes are intermediates in the formation of η 5-Cp complexes. Still rarer, the Cp unit can bond to the metal via three carbons. In these η 3-Cp complexes, the bonding resembles that in ...
The parent cyclopentadienone is rarely encountered, because it rapidly dimerizes. [1] Many substituted derivatives are known, notably tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. Such compounds are used as ligands in organometallic chemistry. [2] The Knölker complex, derived from a substituted cyclopentadienone, is a catalyst for transfer hydrogenation. [3]
The central ring can serve as a diene in Diels–Alder reactions with various dienophiles. For example, reaction with benzyne leads to 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylnaphthalene and reaction with diphenylacetylene leads to hexaphenylbenzene. [5] In this way, it is a precursor to graphene-like molecules, [6] such as coronene.
The anion was first synthesised by Webster in the 1960s [1] and its conjugate acid much later on. [2] More recently Wright has discovered its extensive coordination chemistry. [3] [4] By virtue of a combination of mesomeric and aromatic stabilization of its anion, pentacyanocyclopentadiene is a superacid, with an estimated aqueous pK a of −11 ...
1,3-Cyclopentanedione is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 3 (CO) 2. It is one of two isomeric cyclopentanediones, the other being 1,2-cyclopentanedione. The enol is predicted to be about 1-3 kcal/mol more stable than the diketo form. [1] The enol structure has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. [2]
