Question:

(a) Suggest how Na will react with MeC(CH₂SbCl₂)₃.

(b) Comment on aspects of the bonding in the following compound:

(c) Cp₂Ba and (C₅Me₅)₂Ba both have polymeric structures in the solid state. However, whereas Cp₂Ba is insoluble in common organic solvents, (C₅Me₅)₂Ba is soluble in aromatic solvents. In contrast to (C₅Me₅)₂Ba, (C₅Me₅)₂Be is monomeric. Suggest a reason for these observations.
