The reactivity of [2.2.2]paracyclophane towards Cr(CO)6: experimental and theoretical considerations
Abstract
The reactivity of [2.2.2]paracyclophane
(C
24
H
24
) towards hexacarbonylchromium has been
examined and the rates of reaction for the formation of mono-, bis- and
tris-complexes established. The structures of
[Cr(CO)
3
(η-C
24
H
24
)] and
[{Cr(CO)
3
}
2
(η-C
24
H
24
)] have been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
These experimental observations have been interpreted using approximate
density functional molecular orbital calculations.
