The presence of inherent electronic unsaturation in aluminum predominantly results in the formation of aluminum clusters, with very few examples of compounds containing discrete chains of aluminum atoms in existence. In this work, we present the successful synthesis and structural authentication of a highly unusual trialane species with a near-linear chain of three Al atoms, alongside a carbene-stabilized aluminyl anion ([LAlR]), an alternative product produced by varying the reaction conditions. Quantum-chemical calculations have been applied to elucidate the electronic structure and bonding of these novel compounds.

Fischer carbenes have recently found great utility in the construction of degradable metathesis materials, but investigations have been limited to oxygen-containing enol ether monomers. Here, the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of 1,2-dihydroazetes is reported. The polymerization proceeds regioselectively, and the resulting molecular weights are targetable by adjusting the Grubbs initiator loading.

While ring-closing metathesis (RCM) is a powerful method for constructing medium and large cyclic alkenes, its application to the synthesis of heterocycles faces considerable limitations. For instance, RCM of divinyloxyalkanes does not proceed under the conventional conditions of RCM. The challenge lies in the formation of stable Fischer-type carbene intermediates with heteroatom(s) bound to the carbene carbon, impeding subsequent metathesis.

The synthesis, characterization and reactivity of the diferrocenylphosphenium ion [FcP] was extended to the heavier diferrocenylpnictogenium ions, [FcE] (E=As, Sb, Bi). The lighter diferrocenylnitrenium ion, [FcN], was detected by mass spectrometry, but could not be isolated. The molecular structures of [FcE] (E=P, As, Sb, Bi) reveal intramolecular coordination of the iron atoms, which counterbalance the electron deficiency of the pnictogens without affecting the strong Lewis acidities, which were determined according to the method of Gutmann and Beckett.

Despite the utility of copper catalysts for the insertion of carbene moieties into C-H bonds, the copper carbene intermediate often invoked in these transformations has not been isolated. Herein, we describe the synthesis and structural characterization of a series of copper benzylidenes utilizing the sterically encumbered dipyrrin ligand (L)H. These isolated copper carbenes demonstrate intramolecular insertion into the primary C(sp)-H bond of the ligand (L)H and intermolecular insertion into ethereal and allylic C-H bonds.
