The synthesis of dicobalt and dinickel complexes of trimethylsilylethynyl-1, 2-dihydrofullerene; characterisation by n.m.r. and structure of the first acyclic metal fullerene derivative: Molecular structure of [η2-{2-H-1-(Me3SiC ≡ C)-C60}Ni2(η-C5H5)2]

Reactions of Transition Metal Complexes with Fullerenes (C60, C70, etc.) and Related Materials

“…In part, that is the case with the modified fullerene shown in Scheme . Alkynyl(hydride) adducts of C 60 have these substituents placed at 1,2-positions on the cage .…”

“…Alkynyl(hydride) adducts of C 60 have these substituents placed at 1,2-positions on the cage . The structure of the latter complex has been determined by X-ray crystallography and shown to involve coordination of both nickel atoms to the acetylenic portion of the molecule.…”

“…151 Alkynyl(hydride) adducts of C 60 have these substituents placed at 1,2-positions on the cage. 235 2-H,1-(Me 3 SiCtC)C 60 reacts with Co 2 (CO) 8 to form {2-H,1-(Me 3 SiCtC)C 60 }Co 2 (CO) 6 and with (η 5 235 The structure of the latter complex has been determined by X-ray crystallography and shown to involve coordination of both nickel atoms to the acetylenic portion of the molecule. There is no direct interaction of the nickel atoms and the fullerene portion of the compound.…”
