Synthesis, Spectroscopy, and Structure of a Family of Iridabenzenes Generated by the Reaction of Vaska-Type Complexes with a Nucleophilic 3-Vinyl-1-cyclopropene†
Robert D. Gilbertson,Thomas L. S. Lau,Seren Lanza,He-Ping Wu,Timothy J. R. Weakley,Michael M. Haley +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, seven new iridabenzenes were prepared by the addition of (Z)-1,2-diphenyl-3-(2-lithioethenyl)-1-cyclopropene to the Vaska-type complexes [IrCl(CO)(PR3)2], containing differing phosphine ligands.

Regioselective Formation of β‐Alkyl‐α‐phenyliridabenzenes via Unsymmetrical 3‐Vinylcyclopropenes: Probing Steric and Electronic Influences by Varying the Alkyl Ring Substituent
TL;DR: The influence of the alkyl substituent on the mechanisms of iridacycle generation, isomerization, and iridabenzene regioselectivity is discussed.

Metallabenzenes and Valence Isomers. 3. Unexpected Rearrangement of Two Regioisomeric Iridabenzenes to an (η5-Cyclopentadienyl)iridium(I) Complex
TL;DR: The reaction of (Z)-1-phenyl-2-(trimethylsilyl)-3-(2-lithiovinyl)cyclopropene (4) with Vaska's complex generates the iridabenzvalene 8, the irinabenzene 9, and the cyclopentadienyl complex 10 in a 10:2:3 ratio as mentioned in this paper.

Metallabenzenes and Valence Isomers. 5. Synthesis and Structural Characterization of a Rhodabenzvalene: A Rare η2-Cyclopropene/σ-Vinylrhodium(I) Complex
TL;DR: The success of this metallacycle can be attributed to the synergistic combination of intramolecular π-bonding of the cyclopropene and σ-vinylic linkage to the Rh atom, both of which in turn inhibit decomposition of the other respective moiety.

An unusually robust triple bond: synthesis, structure and reactivity of 3-alkynylcyclopropenes
Robert D. Gilbertson,He-Ping Wu,Drew Gorman-Lewis,Timothy J. R. Weakley,Hans-Christoph Weiss,Roland Boese,Michael M. Haley +6 more
TL;DR: The solution-phase thermochemistry of the 3-alkynyl-1,2,3-triphenyl-3- Triphenylcyclopropenes was explored, affording 3-alksyny-1H-indenes in moderate to good yields.
