Synthesis and characterisation of permethylpentalene complexes and permethylpentalene derivatives

Thesis

This thesis expands the scope for using the permethylpentalene ligand and its precursors in the synthesis of organometallic complexes.

Chapter one begins with a brief review of linked metallocenes, with which multimetallic compounds bridged by pentalene ligands have often been compared, followed by a comprehensive review of the routes used to make pentalenes and substituted pentalenes. Organometallic compounds of pentalenes are introduced, with a focus on bimetallic...
