Abstract
A study has been made of reactions of aromatic hydrocarbons (AHC) - be nzene, toluene, o-xylene, cumene, naphthalene - with metal lanthanides (Nd, Pr, Gd, Eu, Tb) and d-transition metals (Ni, Ti, V) under condit ions of mechanical activation at 20 degrees C. It was established that , under the conditions adopted, opening of the aromatic nucleus occurs with the formation of carbene active centres, leading to the producti on of polyconjugated polymers. Organometallic compounds and carbene co mplexes of metals are also formed. The possible mechanism of the react ions taking place is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rig hts reserved.
