Saturated strained ring hydrocarbons containing the carbon-carbon triple bond have aroused the curiosity of chemists for many years. Strain is believed to become a major factor in the stability of these molecules when the ring contains less than nine carbon atoms. Theoretical calculations have indicated that the molecule, cyclobutyne, lies on an energy minimum, but as yet there is no conclusive experimental evidence for the existence of this molecule in the free state. The ability of metal atoms to complex and stabilize highly reactive small molecules is well-known. Recently, metal complexes of cyclopentyne and a gem-dimethyl-cyclopentyne were isolated. We now wish to report that, by using the stabilizing influence of three metal atoms, we have been able to prepare and isolate the first example of a metal complex containing the ligand cyclobutyne. The cyclobutyne ligand exhibited no anomalous structural or spectroscopic properties. Interestingly, the C[sub 4] ring was opened when the complex was heated to 125 [degree]C. 23 refs., 6 figs., 1 tab.
