title: Metal-mediated efficient synthesis, structural characterization, and skeletal rearrangement of octasubstituted semibullvalenes.
abstract: The first metal-mediated efficient synthesis of octasubstituted semibullvalenes, including octaalkyl and mixed tetraalkyl and tetraphenyl derivatives, was developed. The structures of these semibullvalenes were determined by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis. Their intramolecular skeletal rearrangement and reaction chemistry were investigated.
