C-H Bond Activation of Butenes
Spectroscopic Identification of Y(C4H6) Isomers formed by Yttrium-Mediated C-H Bond Activation of Butenes Jong Hyun Kim, Dong-Sheng Yang June 20th 2016 International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy Champaign-Urbana, Illinois
2
Introduction Metal activation of hydrocarbons plays an important role in organic synthesis and catalysis Understanding of metal mediated C-H activation helps to figure out the reaction mechanisms of metal-hydrocarbon reactions Few spectroscopic studies, little information about the structures and electronic states of the intermediates and products.

Conclusions Both Y + 1-butene and Y + isobutene reactions produce Y(C4H6) by dehydrogenation from C(sp3)-H bonds. The complex from the Y + 1-butene reaction has a Cs structure, while that from isobutene reaction has a C3v structure. Compared to La + butene reactions, the Y reactions produce metal-hydrocarbon complexes with similar structures.
