Abstract

The smallest [n.n]cyclophyne known, [12.12]paracyclophanedodecaynes C36 H8 and C36 Cl8 , were generated by [2+2] cycloreversion of its precursor under photolytic and mass spectrometric conditions. The stepwise loss of chlorine atoms from the anion of the octachloro derivative C36 Cl8- produced a carbon cluster anion C36- in the gas phase.
