Synthesis of Cp* Complexes
Some representative reactions leading to such Cp*-metal complexes include
-
- Cp*H + C4H9Li → Cp*Li + C4H10
-
- 2 Cp*Li + TiCl4 → Cp*2TiCl2 + 2 LiCl
-
- Cp*2TiCl2 + TiCl4 → 2 Cp*TiCl3
-
- Cp*Li + Me3SiCl → Cp*SiMe3 + LiCl
-
- Cp*SiMe3 + TiCl4 → Cp*TiCl3 + Me3SiCl
-
- 2 Cp*H + 2 Fe(CO)5 → 2 + H2
Some Cp* complexes are prepared using hexamethyl Dewar benzene as the precursor. This method was traditionally used for 2.

Famous quotes containing the word synthesis:
“It is not easy to construct by mere scientific synthesis a foolproof system which will lead our children in a desired direction and avoid an undesirable one. Obviously, good can come only from a continuing interplay between that which we, as students, are gradually learning and that which we believe in, as people.”
—Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
