Reactions of benzene derivatives containing C≡N and C≡CH groups with atomic chromium

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02495364

Reactions of benzonitrile and phenylacetylene with atomic chromium were studied. Products of the trimerization and polymerization of the initial aromatic compounds form in considerable amounts along with bisarenechromium complexes. Mechanisms of the reactions were suggested. The possibility of increasing the yields of the bisarenechromium complexes was considered.
