“…Within this group of compounds, anthracene has been found as a prominent, sometimes favoured ligand (Zhu et al, 2006), which can act as a η 2 (Woolf et al, 2011), η 4 , and η 6 (Hanic & Mills, 1968;Elschenbroich et al, 1984), in its monohydrogenated form even as a η 5 (Veauthier et al, 2000) ligand. Regarding the entries of the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002), it is interesting that homoleptic anthracene complexes have been obtained exclusively with η 4 coordination of the transition metals Ti, Zr, Hf (Jilek et al, 2008), Nb (Brennessel, Ellis, Roush et al, 2002), Ta (Brennessel, Ellis, Pomije et al, 2002), Fe ((Brennessel et al, 2007), and Co .…”
