Synthesis and structural chemistry of non-cyclopentadienyl organolanthanide complexes have been reviewed by Edelmann and Schumann et /.13,13a 24 Marques et al. have published a review on the chemistry of the lanthanide using pyrazolylborate ligands.36 Theoretical investigations on lanthanide alkyls have been published by Eisenstein et al. under the title Lanthanide complexes electronic structure and H—H, C-H, and Si-H bond activation from a DFT perspective. ... 

Cyclopentadienyl complexes of the alkali metals are of fundamental importance as reagents in organometallic chemistry [13]. The structural chemistry of these species... 

The apparent rationale for study of the metallocene dihalides was that the cis geometry, Figure 6.4, was reminiscent of that of cisplatin, with a c chloride separation of 3.470 A for Ti, for example, in contrast to that in cisplatin, 3.349 A [102]. However, it is clear from studies of the hydrolysis of the cyclopentadienyl complexes that the aqueous chemistry is very different from that of platinum and no structural analogies should be drawn. In general, the complexes inhibit Ehrlich ascites tumours and solid growths of this tumour, are active in Lewis Lung, but are only very... 

The chemistry of phosphorous ligands in cyclopentadienyl complexes has also developed. The crystal structure of CpW(PR2)(CO)2 reveals a planar phosphorus atom. The reaction chemistry of the phosphavinylidene complex (7) has been described. The addition of species such as EtOH occurs across the P-C double... 

Main Group, Lanthanides and Actinides - In the series of papers Studies on Organolanthanide Complexes several topics have been covered the formation of ion-pair complexes of the type [ Na.phenan3 Cp]LnCl phenan] (phenan = 1,10-phenanthroline), the synthesis and structural chemistry of bismethoxylethylcyclopentadienyl complexes, and furan bridged bis-cyclopentadienyl complexes. A number of synthetic papers have also appeared in the area the synthesis of cyclooctatetraenyl-cyclopentadienyl sandwich complexes, " " the...
