Abstract

Sir: n-Bonded metal complexes of the cyclic moieties C, H, are known for n= 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. We attempted to prepare a complex containing a cyclopropenyl ligand n-bonded to a metal. Orgel'has mentioned the possibility of such complexes and noted the molecular orbitals involved. In practice, we have sought a complex of triphenylcyclopropenyl since triphenylcyclopropenyl bromide is synthesized readily2 and is highly symmetrical. ...
