The reaction of Cp*In with the Cr(CO) 5 -transfer agent Cr(CO) 5 (C 8 H 14 ) (C 8 H 14 = cis -cyclooctene) results in the formation of Cr(Cp*In)(CO) 5 ( 1 ), in which Cp*In acts as an electron pair donor. Compound 1 was characterized by spectroscopic data and by an X-ray analysis. The structure of 1 is compared with the analogous gallium compound Cr(Cp*Ga)(CO) 5 ( 2 ).
