Photoselective 1:1 Adduct between bis(1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethylenedithiolato)nickel(0) and Quardocylane

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1986.2109

Bis(1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethylenedithiolato)nickel(0) (1a) reacts with quardocyclane (Q) to give 1:1 adduct which has the same structure as that of the adduct between 1a and norbornadiene (NBQ).Q reacts with 1a much faster then NBD.The adduct is thermally stable but photoselective to dissociate into 1a and NBD.
