Article Synopsis
- Cyclic voltammetry of (η²-C(60))M(CO)₅ complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W) in dichloromethane reveals three reversible reduction/oxidation waves associated with the [60]fullerene.
- The E(1/2) values for these waves are positively shifted compared to uncoordinated [60]fullerene, likely due to Jahn-Teller distortion and metal π-backbonding effects.
- Lewis bases like piperidine and triphenyl phosphine can displace [60]fullerene from these complexes, with DFT analysis indicating that solvation significantly stabilizes the transition state in certain cases (notably for Mo and W).
