Abstract

Cyclopentadienyl (Cp) and bis (cyclopentadieny1) complexes have played an enormous role in the development of fundamental and practical organometallic chemistry.['] The use of metallocene catalysts for Ziegler-Natta polymerization of alkenes,"] one of the most important recent advances in the latter area, has generated interest in the synthesis of ligands that are isoelectronic with Cp but might confer different properties (eg, different rates or ...
