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 in this impossibility of attaining to a synthesis of the inner life and the outward that the inferiority of the biographer to the novelist lies. The biographer quite clearly sees Peel, say, seated on his bench while his opponents overwhelm him with perhaps undeserved censure. He sees him motionless, miserable, his head bent on his breast. He asks himself: “What is he thinking?” and he knows nothing.”
—Andre Maurois (1885–1967)
