The following is a comprehensive smwey of the chemistry of macrocycles comprised entirely of phenyl and acetylenic moieties. Although over fom" decades old, this area of research has come into its own just in the last few years. Widespread interest in the field has been spurred by recent discoveries utilizing these compoimds as ligands for organometallic chemistry, hosts for binding guest molecules, models of synthetic carbon allotropes, and precursors to fullerenes and other carbon-rich materials. This review will discuss the preparation of a tremendous variety of novel structm-es and detail the development of versatile synthetic methods for macro cycle construction. 

Second, as a logical development of the first approach, polyphosphazenes have been synthesized that bear phosphine units connected to aryloxy side groups (37). The phosphine units bind organometallic compounds, such as those of iron, cobalt, osmium, or ruthenium (38). In several cases, the catalytic activity of the metal is retained in the macromolecular system (39). A similar binding of transition metals has been accomplished through nido carboranyl units linked to a polyphosphazene chain (40). 

Attempts have been made to fix C02 using organometallic complexes in photochemical reactions. A reversible binding of C02 was achieved with the Cu(I) phenylacetylide-phosphine complex,208 which acted as a reversible C02 carrier at ambient temperatures and atmospheric pressure, by C02 insertion into the... 

Carbene ligands, especially the A-heterocyclic carbenes, are regarded as universal ligands in coordination and organometallic chemistry. They are able to bind to a wide variety of metal centers in various oxidation states, as well as to both stabilize and activate metal centers of key intermediates in the catalytic cycles of various organic...
