Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The title compound, [K(C₁₄H₂₃)(C₄H₈O)]_{<italic>n</italic>}, comprises zigzag chains of alternating bridging 2, 3, 4, 5‐tetramethyl‐1‐<italic>n</italic>‐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 <italic>b</italic>‐axis direction. The chemically modified cyclopentadienyl ligand, with a tethered <italic>n</italic>‐pentyl group, was synthesized from 2, 3, 4, 5‐tetramethylcyclopent‐2‐enone by a Grignard reaction.</p> </abstract>
