With a tricarbonyl(diethynylcyclobutadiene)iron complex as starting ma
terial, 7 is prepared in a stepwise fashion by a repetitive deprotonat
ion/iodination/coupling sequence; 7 is a precursor tb the dumbbell-sha
ped peralkynylated organometallics 8, which are obtained by coupling o
f 7 with a ditin alkyne or butadiyne.
