Transition metal chemistry in synthetically viable alkaline earth complexes M(Cp) 3 - (M = Ca, Sr, Ba)

We predicted the stable alkaline earth complexes M(Cp)3- (M = Ca, Sr, Ba; Cp = cyclopentadienyl), where the M centers were in their stable +2 oxidation state and mimicked the bonding behaviour of transition metals by participating in bonding with the π orbitals of Cp ligands using their d orbitals.
