Abstract
Abstract Several new group IV organometallic acetylides have been synthesized utilizing the reaction of sodium acetylide with organometallic halides in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. The expected mono-, di- and tetraethynyl derivatives were obtained. In addition, a number of disubstituted organometallic acetylides and polymeric residues were obtained. The nature of the reaction products leads one to the assumption that under the selected conditions monosodium acetylide disproportionates slowly into disodium acetylide. At least one of the products is highly explosive.
