Abstract

Starting from [q5-C5Br5]M n(CO),, the first r-complex of a cyclopentadienyl ligand with five silyl substituents, [q 5-C5(SiMe2H)5M] n(CO),, was prepared by a series of halogen-lithium exchange reactions, followed by silylation with SiMe2HCI. The crystal structure determination of this compound shows a highly symmetrical "paddle wheel" orientation of the five silyl groups around the cyclopentadienyl ring.
