Abstract
The exo,exo-bis(isodicyclopentadienyl)magnesium sandwich and the monomeric exo(isodicyclopentadienyl)butylmagnesium TMEDA complex have been synthesize d and characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy in C6D6 solution. The solid-state structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. The stereo selectivity with which both moisture-sensitive compounds react with TiCl3. 3THF and ZrCl4 was assessed and suitably compared to related observations r ecorded for alkali metal (Li+, Na+, and K+) complexes of isodicyclopentadie ne.
