1,4 Addition of hexafluorobut-2-yne to co-ordinated cyclo-octa-1,5-diene: crystal structures of the adducts [Rh(acetylacetonato)(C8H12)(C4F6)(1½H2O)] and [Ir(acetylacetonato)(C8H12)(C4F6)2]
Abstract
Hexafluorobut-2-yne adds 1,4 to co-ordinated cyclo-octa-1,5-diene in the complex [Rh(cod)Cl]2, in contrast to the reaction of hexafluorobut-2-yne with [Ir(acac)(cod)] which gives an iridiacyclopentene ring system.
