metalloseene
Metalloseenes are organometallic compounds that consist of a metal atom sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl rings. The general formula for a metalloseene is (C5H5)2M, where C5H5 represents a cyclopentadienyl ligand and M is a metal atom. These compounds are analogous to metallocenes, which feature a transition metal. The discovery and study of metalloseenes expanded the known structural diversity of organometallic compounds, particularly with metals from the main groups of the periodic table.
The first metalloseene to be synthesized was dilithio[1.1]ferrocenophane, which contains lithium, in 1970. Subsequent research led
Metalloseenes have attracted interest due to their potential applications in various fields. Some metalloseenes have been
