Herein we report that 1,4-dilithio-1,3-butadienes, a type of 1,3-butadienyl dianion, can act as non-innocent ligands, taking electrons from low-valent transition metals. Dilithio reagents reacted with [{RhCl(cod)}2] to give dilithio rhodacycle 3 a. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis revealed the structure of 3 a with averaged bond lengths. XPS data suggested that the oxidation state of Rh in 3 a was more likely to be Rh(3+). CDA/ECDA confirmed the electron-transfer process. (7)Li NMR spectra of 3 a and theoretical calculations revealed a considerable aromatic character. In this process, the dilithio compounds behaved as non-innocent ligands and formal oxidants. These results demonstrated that organolithium compounds with suitable π-conjugation could be used as electron acceptor.
