A reversible two-electron redox system involving a divalent lead species

Abstract

Reduction of THF-stabilized plumbacyclopentadienylidene with lithium afforded dilithioplumbole. On the other hand, oxidation of the dilithioplumbole provided the starting plumbacyclopentadienylidene. This is the unprecedented example of a reversible interconversion between group 14 M(II) and its dianionic species bearing organic substituents.
