Abstract: The reaction of Cp₃Y with 2,4-cyclopentadiene-1-ethanol and recrystallization from 1,2-dimethoxyethane (dme) gave the title compound, [CpY(-⁵:¹-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂O)(dme)]₂ or [Y₂(C₅H₅)₂(C₇H₈O)₂(C₄H₁₀O₂)₂]. Bond lengths and angles of the dimeric complex are comparable with similar cyclopentadienyl and -alkoxo complexes of yttrium. The complex has crystallographically imposed inversion symmetry and features two Y atoms that exist in distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometries.
