A synthetic approach to the sandwich complex [Cp&prime;&prime;&prime;Co(ηp>4p>-Pb>4b>)] (<b>2b>) containing a cyclo-Pb>4b> ligand as an end-deck was developed. Complex <b>2b> is the missing homologue in the series of first-row cyclo-Pb>nb> sandwich complexes, and shows a unique tendency to dimerize in solution to form two isomeric Pb>8b> complexes [(Cp&prime;&prime;&prime;Co)b>2b>(μ,ηp>4p>:ηp>2p>:ηp>1p>-Pb>8b>)] (<b>3b> and <b>4b>). Reactivity studies indicate that <b>2b> and <b>3b> react with further [Cp&prime;&prime;&prime;Co] fragments to give [(Cp&prime;&prime;&prime;Co)b>2b>(μ,ηp>2p>:ηp>2p>-Pb>2b>)b>2b>] (<b>5b>) and [(Cp&prime;&prime;&prime;Co)b>3b>Pb>8b>] (<b>6b>), respectively. Furthermore, complexes <b>2b>, <b>3b>, and <b>4b> thermally decompose forming <b>5b>, <b>6b>, and the Pb>12b> complex [(Cp&prime;&prime;&prime;Co)b>3b>Pb>12b>] (<b>7b>). DFT calculations on the Pb>4b> activation process suggest a ηp>3p>-Pb>4b> Co complex as the key intermediate in the synthesis of <b>2b> as well as in the formation of larger polyphosphorus complexes via a unique oligomerization pathway.
