任何元素的一个基本方面是其氧化态的范围，可用于有用的化学反应。本教程描述了最近通过涉及环戊二烯基配体的有机金属化学，稀土和锕系金属在分子络合物中可用的氧化态数量的扩大。这些发现表明，自20世纪50年代二茂铁的开创性发现以来，环戊二烯基配体一直是有机金属化学发展的关键组成部分，并继续为科学的进步做出贡献。介绍了稀土和锕系元素的背景资料，以及导致这些金属氧化态化学意想不到的发展的事件序列。
A fundamental aspect of any element is the range of oxidation states accessible for useful chemistry. This tutorial describes the recent expansion of the number of oxidation states available to the rare-earth and actinide metals in molecular complexes that has resulted through organometallic chemistry involving the cyclopentadienyl ligand. These discoveries demonstrate that the cyclopentadienyl ligand, which has been a key component in the development of organometallic chemistry since the seminal discovery of ferrocene in the 1950s, continues to contribute to the advancement of science. Background information on the rare-earth and actinide elements is presented, as well as the sequence of events that led to these unexpected developments in the oxidation state chemistry of these metals.
