Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(94)84014-8

A short synthesis of a new asymmetric cyclopentadienyl ligand 2 (Cp'H) substituted by a benzyl ether group in the β position on the side chain of the ring is described.Reaction of its potassium salt with samarium triiodide leads to the isolation of a triv
