Abstract

We attempted to characterize enetriolate 1 by both UV-visible spectroscopy and 13C NMR spectroscopy. In the UV-visible spectrum 1 exhibits only end absorption even in dilute solution (ca. 1 XM). Absorption by other species in the base solution precluded measurement of either A,,, or an extinction coefficient. Solubility problems frustrated our at- tempts to measure the 13C NMR spectrum of 1. We have qualitatively measured the ...
