, p. 175 - 176 (2001)
The syntheses of the first main group triple-decker cations are described, namely, [(η5-C5Me5) Sn(μ-η5-C5Me5)Sn(η5 -C5Me5)][G a(C6F5)4] and [(η6-C7H8) In(μ-η5-C5Me5) In(η6-C7H8)][(C6 F5)3BO(H)B(C6 F5)3], both of which have been characterized by X-ray crystallography; the former was prepared by the reaction of Sn(η5-C5Me5)2 with Ga(C6F5)3, while the latter was prepared by treatment of [In(η5-C5Me5)]6 with an equimolar mixture of B(C6F5)3 and H2O·B(C6F5)3.
