    Jutzi P, Reumann G. Cp* Chemistry of main-group elements. JOURNAL OF THE CHEMICAL SOCIETY-DALTON TRANSACTIONS. 2000;(14):2237-2244.In the chemistry of main-group elements the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) group represents a very important substituent. Owing to its quite variable bonding modes, ranging from mainly ionic to mainly covalent and from eta(5) via eta(2/3) to eta(1), an effective adjustment to the electronic situation at the respective element centre is feasible. Furthermore, the steric requirements of the sigma- or pi-bound Cp* group enable the kinetic stabilization of otherwise highly reactive species. Covalent Cp*-element bonds are comparatively weak, consequently allowing fast sigmatropic and haptotropic rearrangement processes. A further consequence is that the Cp* radical as well as the Cp*(-) anion are potential leaving groups. This phenomenon forms the basis of a rich faceted substitution and elimination chemistry. As proof of this statement, several examples from phosphorus, silicon, and gallium chemistry are presented

    Jutzi P, Neumann B, Reumann G, Stammler H-G. Novel Ga2N2 ring systems by reaction of pentamethylcyclopentadienylgallium with organic azides. ORGANOMETALLICS. 1999;18(10):2037-2039.Two different types of compounds are observed in the kinetically controlled reaction of pentamethylcyclopentadienylgallium (Cp*Ga) (1) with organic azides: the dimeric iminogallane (eta(1)-Cp*GaNXyl)(2) (2) and the dimeric azide-bridged gallane [(eta(1)-Cp*)Ga(mu(2)-N-3){N(SiMe3)(2)}](2)(4). The solid-state structures of 2 and 4 are discussed
