Seven-electron ligands, mixed sandwich complexes, related azulene derivatives and cyclo-octatetraene complexes

  • Chapter
Organometallic Compounds

Abstract

Mixed sandwich complexes are those which have two aromatic π-bonded rings containing different numbers of carbon atoms, examples being π-C5H5Mn-π-C6H6, [π-C4R4Co-π-C6R6]+, and π-C5H5Cr-π-C7H7. The best known 7-electron ligand is the π-C7H7, cycloheptatrienyl group and the preparation and chemistry of its complexes frequently involves mixed sandwich complexes. Thus it is convenient to consider the chemistry of some mixed sandwich complexes in this section, after a discussion of 7-electron ligands.† Since complexes derived from azulene may contain 7-electron ligands and may be mixed sandwich complexes, their chemistry is also considered here. Finally, cyclo-octatetraene and its derivatives may act as ligands in so many ways that their chemistry is discussed at the end of this section, after the related chemistry of 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-electron ligands.
