Abstract
Reaction of (C5H5)Li With (eta(5)-C5H5)Tl (1.2 equiv.) in the presence of 12-crown-4 (2 equiv.) produces the ion-separated complex -C5H5)]Tl [(eta(5)-C5H5)](-)[Li(12-crown-4)(2)](+). thf 1 which contains the fir st homometallic main group metal triple-decker sandwich as the anion; this anion can be viewed as the first homologue of the thallocene anio n [(eta(5)-C5H5)(2)Tl](-) and is a molecular segment of the polymeric structure of [(eta(5)-C5H5)Tl](infinity).
