This review will feature mono- and dicyclopentadienyl-transition metal complexes containing silyl-cyclopentadienyl and related indenyl and fluorenyl ligands. All of these compounds contain silyl-substituted functionalities which are able to coordinate the metal center or used to introduce such a type of ligating moieties. The synthesis and chemical behaviour of these types of compounds are strongly emphasized. Compounds discussed are all those containing silicon-bound substituents which include: (a) hydrosilyl (Si–H); (b) halosilyl (Si–X); oxosilyl (Si–O); (c) amino– and amido–silyl (Si–N); (d) alkyl– and alkenyl–silyl (Si–C) and (d) boron–silyl (Si–B) compounds. A brief remark on their most significant structural characteristics is also included. %K Transition metal complexes %K Silyl-cyclopentadienyl %K Silyl-indenyl %K Silyl-fluorenyl %K Ciencia %K Química inorgánica %K Science %K Chemistry, inorganic %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
