## Abstract In a single step, several variously functionalized [RuCp\*(η^6^‐arene)]^+^ sandwich complexes have been prepared starting from RuCl~3~·__x__H~2~O in yields ranging from 35 to 80%, referring to ruthenium. The protocol covers the preparation of valuable [RuCp\*]^+^‐complexed amino acids.

Abstract
Gallium(III) halides react with cerium(III), ytterbium(III), or dysprosium(III) halides in the presence of alkylated benzenes yielding mononuclear complexes of the general formula [Ln(η^6^‐arene)(GaX~4~)~3~]. The X‐ray structures of [Ce(C~6~H~5~Me)(GaCl~4~)~3~] (1), [Ce(p‐C~6~H~4~Me~2~)(GaCl~4~)~3~]·0.5(p‐C~6~H~4~Me~2~) (2), [Yb(C~6~H~5~Me)(GaCl~4~)~3~] (3), [Yb(p‐C~6~H~4~Me~2~)(GaCl~4~)~3~]·0.5(p‐C~6~H~4~Me~2~) (4), and [Dy(C~6~H~5~Me)(GaBr~4~)~3~] (5) were determined. Arene ligands in the cerium–toluene compound 1 can be substituted by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); the compounds [Ce(naphthalene)(GaCl~4~)~3~] (6) and [Ce(pyrene)(GaCl~4~)~3~]·0.5(pyrene) (7) have been isolated and structurally characterized.

To a stirred solution of [TiC13(trimpsi)(thf)] (3.90 g, 7.27 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) at -78°C was added naphthalenesodium (150 mL, 0.145 M in THF, 21.8 mmol). A red-purple solution formed immediately. The solution was warmed to room temperature slowly, and the solvent was removed in vacuum.
