Abstract

The first half sandwich cyclopentadienyl complexes 2-5 with a carbene complex subtituent at the cyclopentadienyl ring are presented. These complexes deserve interest because one metal atom (Cr, Mo, W, Fe) is incorporated in the system of the ligand in conjugation to the cyclopentadienyl ring complexed to iron. In addition to intermetallic interactions these complexes offer the possibility of reactions at both metal atoms. An X-ray structure analysis of 2 reveals, however, that the carbene-chromium π bond is not perfectly coplanar with the cyclopentadienyl ring. Cyclic voltammetry of some of the complexes prepared shows a decrease in oxidation potential upon carbene complex substitution at the cyclopentadienyl ring for 2 and 7 by 118 and 63 mV, respectively. A ligand exchange reaction with bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) under irradiation results in the incorporation of two dppe molecules.
