About this book

This book presents the latest synthetic protocols for the assembly of functionalized
Cp ligands and their transition metal complexes. Cyclopentadienyl (Cp) complexes
of transition metals belong to the most important classes of transition metal complexes
with tightly bound ligands in the coordination sphere since their discovery in the middle
of the last century. Even though they have been known for a long time, this field 
constantly evolves to deliver novel modified Cp ligands and complexes and to blossom into new
fields of application. Beside the synthesis of ligands and metal complexes this book
concentrates on novel and prospering fields of their application in organic synthesis. In this
respect the Cp complexes have been applied to induce and catalyze various significant chemical
transformations such as new C-C bond formation involving unsaturated substrates (e.g.
cyclotrimerizations, cycloadditions, carbometallations, etc.), C-H bond and C-C bond
activations followed by subsequent reactions (e.g. arylation, alkenylations, annulations,
etc.), as well as many other processes. This volume also covers
the recent development and application of chiral Cp complexes in enantioselective synthesis.

About the editors

Marko Hapke received his scientific education at the University of Oldenburg, where he completed his PhD working on supramolecular metal complex chemistry and cross-coupling reactions under supervision of Prof. Arne Lützen and Prof. Peter Köll in 2002. After postdoctoral studies in the area of C-H functionalization chemistry with Prof. John F. Hartwig at Yale University, he joined the group of Prof. Uwe Rosenthal at Leibniz Institute for Catalysis e.V. (LIKAT) at the University of Rostock in 2006 as senior scientist, working on selective ethylene oligomerization. He later became junior research group leader and the focus of his independent working group’s research centered on the development of novel cobalt catalysts for cycloaddition reactions and the understanding of factors determining reactivity and selectivity. After finishing his habilitation in 2015, he became professor at the newly founded Institute for Catalysis at the Johannes Kepler University Linz and remains associated group leader at the LIKAT. His main interest focuses on the development and application of base metal catalysts, transition metal-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions, C-H functionalization chemistry, transition metal olefin complexes and the recycling of polymers.  


Martin Kotora received a MsC degree in 1986 from Charles University in Prague under the supervision of Dr. Vladimir Sváta and a PhD degree in 1991 from the Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals, the Czech Academy of Sciences under the supervision of Dr. Milan Hájek. Then he carried out postdoctoral work with Tamotsu Takahashi (1993-1995) at the Institute for Molecular Science (Okazaki, Japan) as a JSPS fellow and later with Ei-ichi Negishi at Purdue University (Indiana, USA). In 1996 he joined the faculty at the Catalysis Research Center, Hokkaido University (Sapporo, Japan) in the rank of associate professor. In autumn 2000 he joined the faculty of Charles Universityin Prague as an assistant professor of chemistry and subsequently was promoted to the ranks of associate professor (2003) and full professor (2006). In 2014 he received Rudolf Lukeš Prize for Achievements in Organic Chemistry from the Czech Chemical Society. His group's research interests center around transition metal complex catalyzed or mediated reactions (e.g. cyclotrimerization and the C-C bond activation), organocatalysis, Dewar benzenes, and their application synthesis of natural and biologically active compounds.
