Abstract:
The nickel(0) complex 1 containing the extremely easily polymerizable and explosive ligand butadiyne is crystalline and stable at room temperature under inert gas. Complex 1 and the analogous mononuclear complex can be interconverted. Their synthesis opens up new approaches to the commercial use of butadiyne, which is a byproduct of acetylene production (n = 2,3).
