Until recently the low-coordinate compounds of the heavier elements of group 14 were
known only as transient, unstable species which were difficult to isolate. However recent …

Reported herein are the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions of two closely related
dicationic iron tris (α-diimine) complexes. FeII (H2bip)(iron (II) tris [2, 2 '-bi-1, 4, 5, 6 …

Multiple-site concerted proton–electron transfer (MS-CPET) reactions were studied in a
three-component system. 1-Hydroxy-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine (TEMPOH) was …

Kinetic resolution of planar-chiral 1, 1 '-diallylferrocene derivatives was realized by
molybdenum-catalyzed asymmetric ring-closing metathesis with excellent enantioselectivity …

We have synthesised a series of new dinuclear metallocenes [{M (Cp*)(C5H4)} 2X](Cp*= η5‐
pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; M= Fe, Co, X= CMe2, SiMe2, GeMe2; M= Fe, X= Si2Me4). For …

The heavy analogue of ferrocene (η5-Me5C5) Fe [η5-(CPh)(CH) Si2Ge (SiMe t Bu2) 3] 2,
incorporating three heavy group 14 elements in one of the cyclopentadienyl rings, was …

Alkylcyclopentadienylchromium (II) bromide dimers [Cp‴ Cr (μ-Br)] 2 and [5CpCr (μ-Br)] 2
(Cp‴= tri (tert-butyl) cyclopentadienide, 5Cp= pentaisopropylcyclopentadienide) have been …

[Cp* Fe (AN) 3] PF6 (5)(AN= MeCN) reacts with alkali metal cyclopentadienides M
(C5H4R)(M= Li, Na; R= H, CHO, COMe, CH2NMe2) in acetonitrile at ambient temperature to …

Metallocene (ferrocene and ruthenocene) derivatives, featuring three heavy group 14
elements in one of the cyclopentadienyl ligands, were synthesized by the reaction of the …

The inclusion complexes of composition (Cp* 2Yb) 2 (Cp2M)(M= V, Cr, Fe, and Co; Cp*= η5-
C5Me5; Cp= η5-C5H5) are isolated in the solid state. The crystal structure of one of them …
