Prior to use, all solvents were thoroughly dried and distilled in an argon atmosphere. The reported calcocene compounds are moisture and air sensitive. 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded at [D 8 ]THF or [D 6 ]benzene solutions at ambient temperature on a Bruker AC 200 MHz or a Bruker AC 400 MHz spectrometer. All spectra were referenced to deuterated THF or benzene as an internal standard. DEI-mass spectra were obtained on a Finnigan MAT SSQ 710 system (2,4-dimethoxy-benzylalcohol as matrix), IR measurements were carried out on a Perkin Elmer System 2000 FT-IR. Decomposition points were measured with a Reichert-Jung Apparatus Type 302102. Complexes 2 and 3 were reported earlier, S2 however, their synthesis starting from [(thf) 2 CaCp 2 ] (1) is described. Synthesis of [(py) 2 CaCp 2 ] (2): Complex [(thf) 2 CaCp 2 ] (1) (1.60 g, 5.09 mmol) were dissolved at 20 C in 25 ml of pyridine. The volume was reduced to 20 ml and stored at - 20 C. The precipitated colorless crystals were collected and dried in vacuo. Yield: 1.14 g (68.2%). 1 H NMR ([D 6 ]benzene/pyridine): δ 6.07 (Cp). 13 C{ 1 H} NMR ([D 6 ]benzene/pyridine): δ 107.9 (Cp). Synthesis of [(tmeda)cacp 2 ] (3): Solid [(thf) 2 CaCp 2 ] (1) (0.60 g, 1.91 mmol) was suspended in diethyl ether (25 ml) and tmeda (2 ml) was added dropwise resulting in a clear solution. Reduction of the volume to 10 ml and storage at +4 C led to precipitation of large colorless prisms. The collected crystals were washed with cold n-pentane (5 ml) and gently dried in 4
vacuum yielding 0.52 g (1.82 mmol, 95 %) of [(tmeda)cacp 2 ] (3). Physical Data: Decomposition above 76 C. Anal.

Structure Determinations. The intensity data for the compounds were collected on a Nonius KappaCCD diffractometer using graphite-monochromated Mo-K α radiation. Data were corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects but not for absorption effects. S3,S4 The structures were solved by direct methods (SHELXS S5 ) and refined by full-matrix least squares techniques against F 2 o (SHELXL-97 S5 ). All hydrogen atoms were included at calculated positions with fixed thermal parameters. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. S5 Crystallographic data as well as structure solution and refinement details are summarized in Table S2. XP (SIEMENS Analytical X-ray Instruments, Inc.) was used for structure representations. 5
