Irradiation of Cr(CO) 3 (η 6 ‐1,3,5‐cycloheptatriene) ( 1 ) in the presence of bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne results in [6 + 2] cycloaddition of the alkyne to the cycloheptatriene ligand, yielding Cr(CO) 3 (η 4:2 ‐7,8‐bis(trimethylsilyl)bicyclo[4.2.1]nona‐2,4,7‐triene} ( 2 , 60% yield, Φ=0.08), which upon oxidative decomposition with Ce(IV) releases the organic cycloadduct, 7,8‐bis‐(trimethylsilyl)bicyclo[4.2.1]‐nona‐2,4,7‐triene ( 3 ). Photocatalytic hydrogenation of 1,3,5‐cycloheptatriene in the presence of complex 1 affords 1,3‐cycloheptadiene. This process involves 1,6‐addition of hydrogen, as demonstrated by using D 2 .
