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:
“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
—Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
