Abstract
The oxidation of the substituted-fulvalene dianion with group 13 metal halides yields dark green crystals of the stable pi-conjugated fulval ene C24H12(SiMe(3))(2). Reaction of the fulvalene monoanion with the m etal halides results in the oxidative coupling of the ligand to give t he dimer [C24H13(SiMe(3))(2)](2) These compounds, obtained rather unex pectedly during efforts to synthesize metal complexes of the fulvalene -type ligand, have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.
