supported by the observation that reduction of 3b in the presence of D, O affords exclusively the dideuterated butadiene 7 b. Previously, the reduction of double bonds with phosphanes had only been described for activated olefins HRC= CRH (R= CO, Me, COPh),['3a1 and for 7, 7, 8, 8-tetracyanoquinomethane (TCNQ) and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE).''3b1 We propose that facile reduction of 3b occurs, since a) the two diethynylmethylene fragments with their sp carbon atoms exert an activating, electron-withdrawing effect on the central double bond, therefore facilitating the attack of PPh,, and b) these fragments help to stabilize the resulting zwitterion through delocalization of the anionic charge! 14] Accordingly, 1, 4-bis (pentamethylene)-l, 2, 3-b~-tatriener6I is not sufficiently activated to be reduced with PPh,.Rhodium@) is known to form stable'1''complexes with both butatrienes" 51 and alkynes,[16] and we were interested to determine whether regioselective complexation occurs with 3b, which features both types of K systems. When 3b was treated at 20" C with one equivalent of [Rh (PPh,), Cl] in CH, CI,, complex 8 (mp 202-203" C) was obtained in 57% yield as an orange-yellow solid."'In this conversion, butadiene 7a was consistently isolated as a by-product in 40% yield, presumably due to the reaction of 3b with the one equivalent of PPh, that is liberated during the formation of 8. The'H NMR spectrum of 8 in CDCl, shows a complex pattern for protons of the TIPS group, presumably due to hindered rotation of these groups as a result of steric hindrance in the complex. The I3C NMR spectrum shows two sets of acetylenic carbons at 6= 108.4 and 104.3 (Si-CGC) and at 93.6 and 92.7 (Si-CC), which is indicative of the symmetrical structure resulting from complexation at the central cumulenic bond. The two metallacyclic carbon atoms exhibit a multiplet at 6= 146.7 due to coupling to both rhodium as well as phosphorous. Unambiguous proof for the selective complexation at the central double bond of the butatriene unit in 8 was provided by the low-temperature X-ray analysis on crystals grown from acetone solution.['* l The compound crystallizes in the space group Pi, and the asymmetric unit contains two independent molecules of which molecule 1 is shown in Figure 3. The Rh-C bond lengths of 2.00 f 0.01 A are within the range of those previously found in cumulene-rhodium complexes.['51 The CC bond in the metallacycle (1.35 A) is considerably longer than the C= C bond in 3b (1.25 A), which reflects the lower bond order due to the coordination with the rhodium. The two PPh, ligands are axially coordinated; the analysis of the C (pheny1)-P coupling constants in the I3C NMR spectrum also provides support for trans coordination of the phosphanes in the solution complex. The geometry of the central framework of the complex, consisting of the tetraethynylcumulene carbon atoms, the rhodium, and the chlorine atoms, is roughly planar (within 0.34 A) in both molecules 1 (Fig. 3 B) and 2. However, the
