Essay
The isolation and characterisation of transient intermediates is the
life blood of mechanistic organic and organometallic chemistry. By such
means an entire multi-step pathway can be completely unravelled. Following
our serendipitous discovery of a one-pot route from alkynyl-fluorenes
to electroluminescent tetracenes (currently the subject of intense commercial
interest as organic materials for use in computer display screens),
the question arose as to the detailed mechanism of this unexpected process.....[full
