Abstract

Abstract: The ability of variously unsaturated [4.4. 2] propellanes to coordinate with transition metal carbonyl fragments has been assessed experimentally. As expected, Fe (C0) 3 is most prone to complex with planar conjugated diene segments. In the reactions with Mo (CO)~, the utilization of nonconjugated double bonds is seen to be favored and Mo (CO) 4 complexes result. In the specific case of [4.4. 2] propella-2, 4, 11-trienes, these complexes ...
