Abstract
Numerous η5-cyclopentadienyl derivatives of most of the transition metals are known.1 Over the past decade attention has been directed to transition metal complexes containing peralkylated η5-cyclopentadienyl groups, particularly those involving the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand.2–6 Such complexes usually possess, when compared to the relevant cyclopentadienyl analogs, properties reflecting their increased bulk and steric character, e.g., enhanced oxidative, reductive and thermal stability, coupled with reduced volatility. These peralkylated complexes have proved to be more easily isolable and their chemical reactivity and catalytic activity more amenable to study.
