Photochemical additions of cyclo-(Ar{sub 2}Si){sub 4} and (Ar{sub 2}Ge){sub 4} to C{sub 60}

Journal Article · · Organometallics

The photochemical reaction of cyclotetrasilane 1a with C{sub 60} afforded stable 1:1 adducts 2a and 3a; the latter was obtained from a rearrangement of the cyclotetrasilane unit. Similarly, cyclotetragermane 1c gave 2c and the rearranged product 3c. In the case of cyclotetrasilane 1b, only the rearranged product 3b was obtained in high yield. The structures of all compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods, including {sup 29}Si-{sup 1}H HMBC hetero nuclear shift correlation experiments. 15 refs., 1 fig.
