Abstract
A novel, 65-electron tetranuclear nickel cluster of the formula Cp3Ni4(CH3C =CCH3)(3) (6) was isolated and identified as the product of the reaction of nickelocene with methyllithium in the presence of 2-butyne at the molar ra tio of reactants 1:1:1. The compound was fully characterised by spectroscop ic and X-ray measurements. It crystallises from hexane in an orthorhombic c rystal system and space group Pbcn. Corresponding unit cell parameters were determined as a=26.438(5), b=11.219(2), c = 16.328(3) Angstrom; alpha = be ta = gamma = 90 degrees; V = 4843(2) Angstrom (3); Z = 8.
