title: Reactions of osmabenzene with silver/copper acetylides: from metallabenzene to benzene.
abstract: The transformations of metallabenzene to substituted benzenes have been achieved by reactions of osmabenzenes with silver/copper acetylides. In this investigation, novel tetraphenylphosphonium salts containing two phosphonium substituents on the same benzene ring are generated.
