Abstract
The sandwich complex [Ce(C8H8)(2)] has conclusively been shown to be a bis([8]annulene)cerium(III) complex by theoretical as well as experim ental investigations. Its electronic ground state can only be understo od by taking electron correlations into account. Fundamental differenc es between lanthanocenes and actinocenes as well as their anions resul t mainly from the greater effect of relativistic effects in the heavie r actinide systems.
