Thermolytic reactivity of Cp 2 HoCl and X-ray structure of the thermolysis product [（C 5 H 3 CH=CHCH 2 C=CHC 5 H 4 ） 2 Ho 2 Cl 2 ] ∞

Recently much effort has been made to study the thermolytic reactivity oforganolanthanide complexes. These studies have mainly involved disproportionation,β-hydrogen elimination, and other reactions but the C-H activation on the Cp (Cp=
