Methoxide abstraction from gold acetylide complexes of the form (L)Au[η1-C≡CC(OMe)ArAr′] (L=IPr, P(tBu)2(ortho-biphenyl); Ar/Ar′=C6H4X where X=H, Cl, Me, OMe) with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) at ?78 °C resulted in the formation of the corresponding cationic gold diarylallenylidene complexes [(L)Au=C=C=CArAr′]+ OTf? in ≥85±5 % yield according to 1H NMR analysis. 13C NMR and IR spectroscopic analysis of these complexes established the arene-dependent delocalization of positive charge on both the C1 and C3 allenylidene carbon atoms. The diphenylallenylidene complex [(IPr)Au=C=C=CPh2]+ OTf? reacted with heteroatom nucleophiles at the allenylidene C1 and/or C3 carbon atom.

A versatile, two-step synthesis of highly substituted, cyano-functionalized diaryltetracenes has been developed, starting from easily accessible tetraaryl[3]cumulenes. This unprecedented transformation is initiated by [2+2] cycloaddition of tetracyanoethy
