Abstract
Tetrahydrofuran is cleaved at room temperature by low valent nickel sp ecies {(NiCp)(2)} yielding cyclopentadienylnickel clusters: (NiCp)(3)C CH3, (NiCp)(3)CCH2Ph, (NiCp)(4)H-2 and (NiCp)(2)(mu-C5H6). Unstable {( NiCp)(2)} species is formed in the reaction of nickelocene with phenyl lithium in THF as solvent. The evidence for the cleavage of THF was ob tained by studying the reactions using deuterated reagents and solvent s. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
