Connecting C≡C bonds to tetrairidium chains

The chain gang! Tetrametallic iridium chains with the metal atoms in an average oxidation state 1.5 and bound by unsupported metal-metal bonds have been effectively connected to organic fragments with delocalized π electrons, such as 1,4-diethynylbenzene (see figure). This connection allows an elect...

Sumario:The chain gang! Tetrametallic iridium chains with the metal atoms in an average oxidation state 1.5 and bound by unsupported metal-metal bonds have been effectively connected to organic fragments with delocalized π electrons, such as 1,4-diethynylbenzene (see figure). This connection allows an electronic communication along the whole chain spanning around 30 Å and sheds light on the possible use of this type of molecule as "molecular wires".
