Metallocene
COMPOUNDS TYPICALLY CONSISTING OF TWO CYCLOPENTADIENYL ANIONS BOUND TO A METAL CENTER
Metallocenes; Metallocene polymer
A metallocene is a compound typically consisting of two cyclopentadienyl anions (, abbreviated Cp) bound to a metal center (M) in the oxidation state II, with the resulting general formula Closely related to the metallocenes are the metallocene derivatives, e.g.
