Abstract
We report a state‐of‐the‐art spectroscopic study of an archetypical barbaralone, conclusively revealing the valence tautomerism phenomena for this bistable molecular system. The two distinct 1‐ and 5‐substituted valence tautomers have been isolated in a supersonic expansion for the first time and successfully characterized by high‐resolution rotational spectroscopy. This work provides irrefutable experimental evidence of the [3,3]‐rearrangement in barbaralones and highlights the use of rotational spectroscopy to analyze shape‐shifting mixtures. Moreover, this observation opens the window toward the characterization of new fluxional systems in the isolation conditions of the gas phase and should serve as a reference point in the general understanding of valence tautomerism.

Abstract
A fluxional bis-monodentate ligand, based on the archetypal shape-shifting molecule bullvalene, self-assembles with M2+ (M=Pd2+ or Pt2+ ) to produce a highly complex ensemble of permanently fluxional coordination cages. Metal-mediated self-assembly selects for an M2 L4 architecture while maintaining shape-shifting ligand complexity. A second level of simplification is achieved with guest-exchange; the binding of halides within the M2 L4 cage mixture results in a convergence to a cage species with all four ligands present as the "B isomer". Within this confine, the reaction graph of the bullvalene is greatly restricted, but gives rise to a mixture of 38 possible diastereoisomers in rapid exchange. X-ray crystallography reveals a preference for an achiral form consisting of both ligand enantiomers. Through a combination of NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations, we elucidate the restricted isomerisation pathway of the permanently fluxional M2 L4 assembly.

Abstract
The reaction of oxime-tethered 1,6-enynes with a cationic gold(I) catalyst demonstrates a great potential for the synthesis of a range of heterocycles in a diastereospecific fashion. The control of the configuration of the oxime and the alkene of the enyne moiety is the key to selectively obtain dihydro-1,2-oxazines, isoxazolines or dihydropyrrole-N-oxides as single diastereoisomers. As supported by DFT calculations, these cascade reactions proceed stepwise, by the intramolecular addition of the O or N atom of the oxime onto cyclopropyl gold(I) carbene intermediates. In this study, a rare [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of nitrones is also observed.

Abstract
Herein we detail a practical synthesis of bullvalene and a variety of mono- and disubstituted analogues through cobalt-catalysed [6+2] cycloaddition of cyclooctatetraene to alkynes, followed by photochemical di-π-methane rearrangement. The application of isomer-network analysis, coupled with quantum-chemical calculations, provides a powerful automated tool for predicting the properties of bullvalene isomer networks.
