✦ Synopsis

n = 3) have been investigated. The main decomposition pathways involve loss of T. radicals and CO molecules. For complexes derived from transition metals loss of CO groups leads to cyclopentadienyl metal ions reflecting the ability of such metals to form complexes with unsaturated hydrocarbon ligands. In complexes of type MT, successive loss of T radicals occurs only when M = Ga, In, Cr or

Fe. This behaviour is rationalized in terms of the ability of these metals to change oxidation state. The spectrum of the copper complex exhibits several hydrogen-migration reactions.
