Abstract

The cyclopentadienyl group, C5H5, forms complexes with all the d-block transition elements. Its usual mode of bonding is η 5, although there are examples of η 3 and η 1 attachment. In the following series of compounds the 18-electron configuration of the metal is maintained by variation of the number of electrons provided by one of the cyclopentadienyls (Fig. 9.1).
