It is well known that x-traw-butadiene can serve as a bridging ligand in binuclear [( i-r 2,r 2-C4H6)M2L ]metal complexes.12 However, since the original discovery in 19804 there has been an increasing number of structurally, chemically, and spectroscopically well characterized mononuclear (s-trura-conjugated diene)metal complex systems reported in the literature.11...

Proteins can serve as useful platforms for the construclion of metal-molecular assan-blies. Many essential enzymes, such as cytochrome P450, nitrogenase, and photosystem II, contain metal cofactors in their active sites. The properties of the cofactors are regulated within the unique environments of the protdns [1]. On the basis of molecular design within natural systems, various metal-protein hybrids have beai prepared according to a variety of different techniques, including (1) the covalent conjugation of metal complexes to proteins (2) the alternation of amino adds around the active sites... 

It resembles tetracyanoethylene in that it adds reagents such as hydrogen (31), sulfurous acid (31), and tetrahydrofuran (32) to the ends of the conjugated system of carbon atoms suffers displacement of one or two cyano groups by nucleophilic reagents such as amines (33) or sodiomalononittile (34) forms TT-complexes with aromatic compounds (35) and takes an electron from iodide ion, copper, or tertiary amines to form an anion radical (35,36). The anion radical has been isolated as salts of the formula (TCNQ) where is a metal or ammonium cation, and n = 1, 1.5, or 2. Some of these salts have... 

In 1982 the present author discovered cyclic orbital interactions in acyclic conjugation, and showed that the orbital phase continuity controls acyclic systems as well as the cyclic systems [23]. The orbital phase theory has thus far expanded and is still expanding the scope of its applications. Among some typical examples are included relative stabilities of cross vs linear polyenes and conjugated diradicals in the singlet and triplet states, spin preference of diradicals, regioselectivities, conformational stabilities, acute coordination angle in metal complexes, and so on.

Beyond palladium, it has recently been shown that isoelectronic metal complexes based on nickel and platinum are active catalysts for diyne reductive cyclization. While the stoichiometric reaction of nickel(O) complexes with non-conjugated diynes represents a robust area of research,8 only one example of nickel-catalyzed diyne reductive cyclization, which involves the hydrosilylative cyclization of 1,7-diynes to afford 1,2-dialkylidenecyclohexanes appears in the literature.7 The reductive cyclization of unsubstituted 1,7-diyne 53a illustrates the ability of this catalyst system to deliver cyclic Z-vinylsilanes in good yield with excellent control of alkene geometry. Cationic platinum catalysts, generated in situ from (phen)Pt(Me)2 and B(C6F5)3, are also excellent catalysts for highly Z-selective reductive cyclization of 1,6-diynes, as demonstrated by the cyclization of 1,6-diyne 54a.72 The related platinum bis(imine) complex [PhN=C(Me)C(Me)N=Ph]2Pt(Me)2 also catalyzes diyne hydrosilylation-cyclization (Scheme 35).72a... 

In this review, well-defined metal-containing PAEs are described whose primary structure is represented by one of the schematic drawings A-C and E shown in Fig. 2. In contrast to the structures shown in the A-C systems, E has a conjugated phenyleneethynylene with metal chelates as end groups. PAEs containing metal complex as side groups (D) have, up to now, not been described in the literature. The classes of compounds such as metal-bridged alkynes, the poly(metallayne)s, and polymer carbyne complexes (structures G and H) do not in fact represent PAEs. 

Several effects can influence the electronic structure of Cjq upon metal complex formation. One is the removal of one double bond from the remaining 29 fullerene double bonds. As in any polyene system, this decreased conjugation is expected to raise the energy of the LUMO and therefore decreases the electron affinity of the system. Conversely, the d-orbital backbonding transfers electron density from the metal into n orbitals of the remaining double bonds, which also decreases the electron affinity.
