Homoleptic permethylpentalene complexes: "double metallocenes" of the first-row transition metals.

The synthesis of the bimetallic permethylpentalene complexes Pn*2M2 (M = V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni; Pn* = C8Me6) has been accomplished, and all of the complexes have been structurally characterized in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Pn*2V2 (1) and Pn*2Mn2 (3) show very short intermetall...
