Chemical synthesis with metal atoms: the reaction of chromium and nickel atoms with styrene

The preparation of C8H8Cr(CO)3 (or C8H8Cr(PF3)3) and polystyrenechromium tricarbonyl (or polystyrenechromium tris(trifluorophosphine) from chromium atoms, styrene and carbon monoxide (or trifluorophosphine) is described; nickel atoms and styrene produce tristyrenenickel, which reacts with α,α′-bipyridyl to yield bipyridylstyrenenickel.

Chemical syntheses with metal atoms

Abstract Metal evaporation syntheses of [Cr(C7H7)(C7H10)], [Cr(C7H8)(PF3)3], metal carbonyls, and anhydrous metal acetylacetonates are described.

Chemical synthesis with metal atoms: the reaction of iron with some conjugated dienes

Abstract Complexes have been obtained by the reaction of iron atoms with butadiene or styrene at - 196°C followed by treatment with ligands such as CO or (MeO) 3 P.
