Abstract
Abstract A process is provided for preparing tricyclopentadienyl cerium as well as the mono and dicyclopentadienyl cerium intermediates which comprises slowly adding alkali metal cyclopentadienide to a solution of ceric ammonium nitrate, forming, in sequence, and stepwise, monocyclopentadienyl cerium dinitrate, dicyclopentadienyl cerium mononitrate, and tricyclopentadienyl cerium.
