In continuation of previous work on cyclopentadienone dimers [3], thermal and photochemical interconversions of the isomeric diketones 1, 3, and 5 by skeletal rearrangements have been established to the extent summarized in schemes 2 and 3, and the intramolecular [2+2] cycloaddition 1 โ 2 was found to be reversible photochemically.

## Abstract Glutacononitrile (1,3โdicyanopropene) (2) was converted to its anion (1) by treatment with sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran. Both ^13^C and ^1^ NMR showed that the sodium salt of 1 in THF existed in three slowly interconverting geometries (U, W and S). These geometries were present in
## Abstract In this study, 14 norbornadiene (NBD) dimers and the thermal dimerization mechanism were studied using the hybrid density functional theory (B3LYP) and the secondโorder multiconfigurational perturbation theory (CASPT2). In the process of dimerization, the biradical stationary points wer
Dehydrogenative coupling of tertiary stannanes, R 3 SnH, catalyzed by a transition metal is known to produce distannanes, R 3 SnรSnR 3 , [1] whereas a mixture of cyclic and linear oligo-or polystannanes is obtained from the analogous dehydrogenative coupling of secondary stannanes, R 2 SnH 2 . [2][3
