Propane-metal complexes are formed when excess propene is co-condensed with atomic nickel, palladium, iron, magnesium, or aluminum at liquid nitrogen temperature. Aluminum forms stable organoaluminum products that remain unchanged on warming to room temperature. Infrared spectra and hydrolysis experiments indicate the major product to be a C/sub 3/ alkane adduct of aluminum. Nickel, palladium, and iron give colorless, unstable ..pi..-propene complexes whose low-temperature infrared spectra resemble the spectrum of a propene analog of Zeise's salt K(C/sub 3/H/sub 6/PtCl/sub 3/).H/sub 2/O. Only an unstable, black, charge-transfer complex is obtained from magnesium, and its infrared spectrum is indistinguishable from that of solid propene. The charge-transfer complex and the ..pi..-propene complexes all decompose on warming into propene and metals.
