Abstract

An overview of η51-coordinated transition metal ansa complexes is given. These compounds bear one or more coordinated cyclopentadienyl moieties connected with a η1-bridging σ-bonded carbon chain featuring a length of at least two carbon atoms. Synthetic approaches, as well as characterisation and applications are described.
