A cyclopentadienyl complex is a coordination complex of a metal and cyclopentadienyl groups (C
5H−
5, abbreviated as Cp−). Cyclopentadienyl ligands almost invariably bind to metals as a pentahapto (η5-) bonding mode. The metal–cyclopentadienyl interaction is typically drawn as a single line from the metal center to the center of the Cp ring.[1][2]
