Abstract
A metamorphosis of the tetraethynyl precursor 1 through double Cu-catalyzed ring closure leads to the corresponding butterfly-shaped cyclobutadiene complexes 2 in high yield (94 %). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that the large organic ligand is distinctly nonplanar with a concave topology. Cp=cyclopentadiene.Entities:
