Abstract

The chemistry of 'open” and “half-open” metallocenes, that is of metal complexes with pentadienyl ligands, was largely left unexplored for a long time, in contrast to the vigorous development in the chemistry of related cyclopentadienyl or allyl complexes. Recent research, however, confirmed earlier predictions on the stability of metalpentadienyl compounds and their chemical and catalytic properties.'2 This is largely due to the work of ...
