1,2,3,4,5-Pentamethylcyclopentadiene is the precursor to the ] ''1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl'', which is often denoted '''Cp*''' ({{chem2|C5Me5}}) and read as "C P star", the "star" signifying the five methyl groups radiating from the core of the ligand.

Complexes of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl differ in several ways from the more common cyclopentadienyl (Cp) derivatives. Being more electron-rich, Cp* is a stronger donor and is less easily removed from the metal. Consequently its complexes exhibit increased thermal stability. Its steric bulk allows the isolation of complexes with fragile ligands. Its bulk also attenuates intermolecular interactions, decreasing the tendency to form polymeric structures. Its complexes also tend to be highly soluble in non-polar solvents.
