Rosenthal's-reagent-mediated intramolecular cyclometallation of α,α-dialkynyldipyrrin nickel(II) complex and subsequent acid treatment afforded a 1,3-butadiene-embedded porphyrin(2.1.2.1), 6, which served as a reactive diene towards dienophiles such as dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) and benzyne to give corresponding Diels-Alder adducts. Diels-Alder reaction of 6 and benzdiyne gave adducts 14, 15 a, and 15 b along with a trace amount of porphyrin(2.1.2.1) barrel 13. Stepwise routes using 14 or 15 a/15 b as a substrate allowed for the synthesis of 13 as a single stereoisomer. The nanobarrel structure for 13 was revealed by X-ray diffraction, where its cavity held two chloroform molecules via C-H⋅⋅⋅π interaction. DFT calculations revealed that the electrostatic attraction was dominant with binding energy of 32.8 kcal mol .

Bis(alkynyl)silanes react with low valent zirconocene species to afford zirconacyclobutene intermediates. These in situ generated reactive organometallic intermediates can react with alkynes, ketones, aldehydes, and isocyanates by means of a novel skeletal rearrangement. When a zirconacyclobutene intermediate was treated with an alkyne, an alpha-alkynylsilyl zirconacyclopentadiene was formed.

A family of isolable, well-defined bis-indenyl zirconium sandwich complexes, (eta(5)-C(9)H(5)-1,3-R(2))(eta(9)-C(9)H(5)-1,3-R(2))Zr (R = silyl, alkyl), have been prepared by either alkane reductive elimination or alkali metal reduction of a suitable zirconium(IV) dihalide precursor. Crystallographic characterization of two of these derivatives, R = SiMe(2)CMe(3) and CHMe(2), reveals unprecedented eta(9) coordination of one of the indenyl ligands. Variable-temperature and EXSY NMR studies establish that the eta(5) and eta(9) rings are rapidly interconverting in solution.

One Si-tethered diyne is coupled in one pot with three molecules of organonitriles promoted by a low-valent zirconocene species. Cleavage of one of the three CN triple bonds and cleavage of the two Si-C bonds take place to afford pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives after hydrolysis.

Two one-pot multicomponent synthetic methods for highly substituted indenes are described. The intermolecular coupling of aromatic ketones with alkynes on low-valent zirconocene species generates oxazirconacyclopentenes, which upon hydrolysis with 20% HCl for 3 h afforded indene derivatives in good to excellent yields. Similarly, the pair-selective coupling of two identical or different alkynes bearing at least one aromatic substituent formed zirconacyclopentadienes.
