This paper presents the synthesis and characterization of (TMS-ethynyl)-substituted germa[4]pericyclyne composed of acetylene moieties and germanium atoms. Characterization was performed by X-ray crystallography, UVvis absorption, and photoluminescence sp

A series of tetrakis(trimethylsilylethyne) derivatives of Group 14 metals (2-4) was prepared. Co2(CO)6 complexes 5-10 were synthesised by the reaction of 2-4 with Co2(CO)8. From the silyl and germyl based compounds 2 and 3, either one or two alkynes could be complexed with Co2(CO)6. In contrast, the tin derived compound 4 could accommodate up to four Co2(CO)6 complexes. The longest wavelength UV-Vis absorbances of the silicon and germanium-based complexes were consistent with multiple, non-conjugated Co2(CO)6 chromophores. The tetrakis Co2(CO)6 complex 10, however, absorbs at a much longer wavelength suggesting conjugation of Co2(CO)6 complexes through the tin. The reactivity towards protonolysis of the uncomplexed alkynes 2-4 is a consequence of the hyperconjugative stabilisation of the intermediate β-vinyl cation (the β-effect): Sn(C≡CSiMe3)3>SnOTf(C≡CSiMe 3)2>SiMe3>Ge(C≡CSiMe 3)3>Si(C≡CSiMe3)3. The reactivity of the Co2(CO)6 complexes, however, was quite different from the reactions of 2-4 and from analogous all-carbon systems. Treatment of 5-10 with strong acid led neither to protiodemetallation of the complexed or non-complexed alkynes but to decomplexation of the cobalt. Similarly, ligand metathesis reactions between 10 and Ph2SiCl2 were not observed. The normal reactivity of silylalkynes towards electrophiles, which was expected to be enhanced by the presence of the cobalt complex, was diminished by the particular steric environment of the molecules under examination (5-10). As a result, the favoured reaction under these conditions was decomplexation of the cobalt.
