X-Ray crystal structures of bis(cyclopentadienyl)tin and bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)lead
Abstract
The X-ray crystal structures of bis(cyclopentadienyl)tin (1) and the new compound bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)lead (2) show that (i) both compounds are monomeric in the solid state and (ii) the C5H5 and Me5C5 rings in compounds (1) and (2), respectively, are bonded in the pentahapto-manner.
