A new synthetic method of heterobimetallic complexes bridging with
a π,π-phenylcyclopentadienyl ligand,
tricarbonylchromium−η6,η5-phenylcyclopentadienyl−transition
metal complexes, was developed through the
reactions of
(η6-C6H5C5H5)Cr(CO)3
or its sodium salt with transition metal complexes. The method is
suitable
for most transition metal elements with the advantages of easy
manipulation, mild reaction conditions, and moderate
to high yields. As indicated by 1H NMR spectra, the
interactions between the two π systems of phenyl and
cyclopentadienyl rings were weak. X-ray crystal structures of
seven complexes were studied. Compound 23,

indenyl rings in the molecules were found
to be not coplanar.
