Substituted Cyclopentadienyl Ligand Precursors

Cyclopentadienyl (Cp) complexes are known across the periodic table. For technetium, only the +I oxidation state is well-established. The derivatization of the Cp-rings in such compounds offers chances to stabilize more exotic technetium-containing molecules. For such studies, substituted precursors for Cp ligands need to be prepared.
