B. Oelckers et al., ON THE WAY TO DELOCALIZED ORGANOMETALLIC POLYMERS - TRIPLE-DECKER ANDQUADRUPLE-DECKER PENTALENE COMPLEXES OF IRON AND COBALT, Organometallics, 12(9), 1993, pp. 3396-3397
A new class of triple- and quadruple-decker complexes of iron and coba
lt derived from pentalene was prepared. The triple-deckers are prepare
d through the reaction of the bis(hydropentalenyl)iron monolithium sal
t 2 with CpM(acac) (M = Fe, Co). Two types of iron quadruple-deckers
were also prepared, the first through the reaction of 2 with Fe (acac)
2, and the second through there action of 3 with n-butyllithium follow
ed by CpFe-(acac).
