TY  - JOUR
AB  - Reaction of the pentalene synthon, 1,3,4,5,6-pentamethyl-2-methylene-1,2-dihydropentalene (Pn') with Fe2(CO)9 or Co2(CO)8 led to the synthesis of binuclear pentalenyl-bridged [Fe2(CO)4(μ-CO)(μ-η5:η5-Pn)] (1) and [Co2(CO)4(μ-η5:η5-Pn)] (2), resp., in good yields.  The complexes 1 and 2 were structurally characterized by x-ray crystallog. and are examples of syn-facial 34-electron dinuclear permethylpentalene complexes; 1 contains a μ-CO moiety with an unusual orientation, and NMR data indicate rapid terminal-bridging CO exchange.  Theor. investigations support the structures found in the solid state and also suggest an absence of metal-metal bonding in these compds., despite the proximity of the metal centers.
