“…Among the many developments, side chain functionalization particularly has added new facets to the chemistry of this class of compounds [2][3][4]. The emerging reactivity patterns have been utilized to tailor solubility [4,5], control the electronic properties of the metal center via hemi-labile coordination [5][6][7][8], introduce chirality [9], or to accelerate catalytic reactions with bifunctional mechanism [10]. Compounds with pendant amino groups have attracted considerable attention, with (2-dimethylamino)ethyl tethered g 5 -cyclopentadienyl derivatives of Ru, Rh, or Ir being prominent examples [4,10].…”
