Synthesis of the paramagnetic µ-cyclopentadienylidene dicobalt complexes [(C5R5)Co(µ-C5H4)Co(X)(C5R5)](X = Cl, Br). X-Ray crystal structure of [(C5Me5)Co(µ-C5H4)Co(Br)(C5Me5)]

Abstract
Careful chemical oxidation of the dinuclear carbene complexes [(η-C5R5)Co(µ-C5H4)Co(η-C2H4)(η-C5R5)] gives the novel paramagnetic halide derivatives [(η-C5R5)Co(µ-C5H4)Co(X)(η-C5R5)](R = H, Me; X = Cl, Br) which have η5 : η1-cyclopentadienylidene bridges.
