Metallocene
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 (CH)M. Closely related to the metallocenes are the metallocene derivatives, e.g. titanocene dichloride, va... | 2,970 |
