In an effort to develop a general synthetic route toansa-chromocene complexes with diverse ligand frameworks,we investigated ansa-magnesocene compounds as an alternative,potentially more versatile ligand source than ansa-calcocenecompounds. The first single-carbon-bridged ansa-chromocenecompound, Me2C(C5H4)2CrCO, was isolated from the reactionbetween Me2C(C5H4)2Mg and CrCl2 in THF under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide. This new ansa-chromocene compound is considerably more air-sensitive and less chemicallystable than its ethanediyl-bridged counterparts.
