REACTIVITY OF TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES

Oxepin also forms a diene complex with tricarbonyliron (78JHC1057). 

2 SYNTHESIS FROM NONHETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS BY MAKING ONE BOND 

A large fraction of the chemical reactions known are used to form heterocyclic compounds. Displacement reactions and cycloadditions are particularly important, and their rates are therefore of great practical interest. The same is true for the rates of reverse reactions — ring opening by displacements or retrocycloadditions. It was realized over the last 40 years that

THE REACTIVITY OF TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES WITH OXYGEN... 

Despite the above aspects of the interaction of molecular oxygen with metal fragments, we will limit our electrochemical discussion to the reactivity of transition metal complexes with molecular oxygen in the context of modelling the dioxygen transport. 

Several decades ago, inorganic photochemistry was mostly devoted to the photochemical reactivity of transition metal complexes by shining light onto a transition metal complex, one or several photoproducts were obtained and analyzed. In this respect, inorganic photochemistry could be considered as an interesting synthetic method [1,2],...
