The electron-transfer reactions of Cp2Cr appear to be the simplest of the three metals. being reported. In either THF or CH3CN, Cp2Cr undergoes an electrochemically reversible oxidation to Cp2Cr+ and reduction to CpzCr-, as shown by CV (Figure 1). Salts of the chromocene cation, such as Cp2CrI, are well known, 9 and the cation probably retains the symmetric coplanar ring structure 1. The reduction of chromocene is more interesting, for the anion of Cp2Cr, like all other metallocenes except Co, 8, 10· 11 has not been previously reported. CV mea-surements of this reduction show· that the anion undergoes follow-up reactionsto as yet unspecified products, but the CV peak heights, as well as bulk coulometry measurements, show that a one-electron process is involved in THF.CP2V is reduced just before solvent discharge (ca.—3 V). Polarographic and CV data are consistent with a reversible one-electron change to givethe vanadocene anion, a species isoelectronic with CpaCr. The anion is stable enough to be monitored by slow CV, but no bulk electrolyseshave been performed as yet.
