Iodo, bromo, chloro , and thiocyanato ?-complexes 4, accessible as crystalline compounds from 1,3,5-tris(1-pyrrolidinyl)benzene (1) with halogens and dirhodan, respectively, react with nucleophiles or bases under dehalogenation, deprotonation, dimerization, or H ?-complex formation.The product formation depends on the redox potentials of the ?-complexes ( acceptors) and the nucleophiles ( donors) , on the leaving tendency of the substituents on C-1 of the ?-complexes, and on the reaction time.The unexpected reactions are interpreted by an electron transfer from the nucleophile Y to the ?-complex A+ to give the radical A., a subsequent heterolytic dissociation to the 1,3,5-tris(1-pyrrolidinyl)benzene radical cation C+., and its follow-up reactions (addition of nucleophiles, dimerization, and H abstaction).The H ?-complex 6 results as the most stable final product after long reaction times because of its lowest acceptor properties and poor nucleofugal leaving tendency of a hydride ion.
