The dimerization of 6,6-dimethylfulvene with Ni(cod)(2) yields the 4,4,8,8-tetramethyl-3a,4,7a,8-tetrahydros-indacene isomer (1a). Heating a solution of 1a converts it to the 1,4,5,8 (1b) and 1,4,7,8 (1c) tetrahydro-s-indacene isomers. The activation energy for the isomerization is 23(1) kcal/mol. 1b and 1c can be deprotonated with n-BuLi and the reaction of the dianion with [ClIr(C(2)H(4))(2)](2) gives two isomers, cis-[(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(CMe(2))Ir(C(2)H(4))(2)](2) (cis- 2) and trans-[(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(CMe(2))Ir(C(2)H(4))(2)](2) (trans- 2). Reaction of 1b and 1c with RhCl(3) center dot xH(2)O in refluxing methanol yields a red-orange solid, which was consistent with the empirical formula, [(C(5)H(3))(CMe(2))RhCl(2)](n) (3). Reaction of 3 with C(2)H(4) in a Na(2)CO(3)/ethanol mixture afforded cis-[(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(CMe(2))Rh(C(2)H(4))(2)](2) in 5% yield. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
