Abstract

Frontier orbital calculations predict that 1,3-addition is the preferred cycloaddition mode for tetracyanoethylene to a range of cyclic triene complexes. The 1,6-addition previously reported for an azepine complex is not an allowed reaction but is produced by isomerization of a 1,3 addition product.
