Several protocols were used throughout the extent of the experimentation, such as during the development and purification of the organic complex. In the developmental phase of the organic complex, traditional methods of cycloaddition reactions were studied and analyzed to provide a basic understanding of a possible design for a practical reaction with cyclooctyne, The characteristics of Click Chemistry reactions were also studied and aided the experimental design of this project. The methodology of the experimentation was a slow-addition of cyclooctyne to a refluxing tricarbonyl iron(0) vinylketene complex in distilled hexane and ether. The purpose of this design was to lower the rate of trimerization of cyclooctyne and increase its reactivity
