Abstract

The title compound, [K(C14H23)(C4H8O)]n, comprises zigzag chains of alternating bridging 2,3,4,5-tetramethyl-1-n-pentylcyclopentadienyl ligands and potassium ions, with an ancillary tetrahydrofuran ligand in the coordination environment of potassium. The coordination polymer strands so formed extend by 21 screw symmetry in the b-axis direction. The chemically modified cyclopentadienyl ligand, with a tethered n-pentyl group, was synthesized from 2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopent-2-enone by a Grignard reaction.
