Jr. Bleeke et al., OLIGOMERIZATION CHEMISTRY OF A METALLABENZENE CYCLOADDUCT - SYNTHESISAND STRUCTURE OF AN ORGANOMETALLIC CROWN COMPOUND, Organometallics, 16(6), 1997, pp. 1103-1105
The CS2 adduct of ''iridabenzene'' undergoes dimerization and cyclotri
merization reactions by linking subunits through thiocarbonyl sulfur c
enters. The cyclotrimerization product (compound 4) has been structura
lly characterized and contains a novel organometallic trithia-12-crown
-3 ring system.
