Additional examples of compounds of this invention are set forth hereinbelow in the specific examples which are representative of the invention. 
     The compounds of this invention wherein R 1  is hydrogen are prepared by coupling 7-aninocephalosporanic acid or a derivative thereof having the formula: ##STR10## wherein R 2 , M and X have the meaning defined in general Formula I with an acid of the following Formula VI or a functional derivative thereof: ##STR11## wherein Aryl, Y, Z and n have the meanings defined in general Formula I, and W 2  is selected from hydrogen, methyl, amino, hydroxy, SO 3  H, or COOH. When the substituted group W 2  in the above Formula VI represents an amino group, suitable blocking groups, for example, an acid salt such as hydrochloride salt, an acyl group, or tert-butoxycarbonyl may be employed to protect the amino function. Such blocking groups are removed after the coupling reaction by the methods generally known in the art, for example, as described by Lemiuex et al., in U.S. Pat. No. 3,657,232. 
     Functional equivalents of the acids as represented by Formula VI include the acid halide, for example, the acid chloride, acid anhydrides, including mixed anhydrides with, for example, alkylphosphoric acids, lower aliphatic mono esters of carbonic acid, or alkyl or aryl sulphonic acids. Additonally, the acid azide or an active ester or thioester for example, with p-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, or thioacetic acid, may be used or the free acid as represented by Formula VI may be coupled with the 7-aminocephalosporanic acid derivative as represented by Formula V after first reacting the acid with N,N&#39;-dimethylchloroforminium chloride or by use of a carbodiimide reagent, for example, N,N&#39;-diisopropylcarbodiimide, N,N&#39;-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, or N-cyclohexyl-N&#39;-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide. Just as the final products of this invention must exist in a form to satisfy the positive charge on the pyridinium group so must the compounds of Formula VI, for example, in the form of a salt of a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic acid. 
     The coupling reaction is generally carried out in the presence of a solvent. Suitable solvents include ethyl acetate, acetone, dioxane, acetonitrile, chloroform, ethylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran and dimethylformamide. As hydrophilic solvents are employed, mixtures of these solvents with water are also suitable for the above reactions. The coupling reaction is generally carried out in the presence of a base, for example, an alkaline bicarbonate. The temperature of the reaction may vary from -10° to 100° C, and the reaction time may vary from about 1/2 hour to 10 hours. The cephalosporin products are isolated by conventional methods. 
     Compounds of Formula V wherein R 2  is hydrogen, M is hydrogen, or an anion and X is hydrogen or acetoxy are commercially available or may be prepared by the methods well-known in the art. The corresponding compounds wherein R 2  is methoxy may be prepared by the general procedures described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,778,432. 
     Compounds of Formula V wherein M is alkanoyloxymethyl may be prepared by reacting the corresponding acid in the form of a salt, such as, an alkali metal salt or the triethylammonium salt with a compound of formula: ##STR12## wherein halo is chlorine or bromine, and R 3  is a straight or branched lower alkyl group of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, by the general procedure described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,655,658. 
     Compounds of Formula V wherein M is alkanoylaminoethyl or alkoxycarbonylaminomethyl are prepared by treating the sodium salt of acid derivatives of Formula V in an organic solvent such as dimethylformamide or hexamethylphosphoramide, at room temperature with an equivalent amount of an alkanoylaminomethyl halide or an alkoxycarbonylaminomethyl halide for 1/2 to 3 hours after which the mixture is poured into ice water. The resulting precipitated product is isolated by standard procedures. 
     Compounds of Formula V wherein M is p-(alkanoyloxy)benzyl are prepared by adding two equivalents of the p-(alkanoyloxy)benzyl alcohol to a suspension of sodium salts of acid derivatives of Formula V and dimethylformamide or hexamethylphosphoramide after which the mixture is cooled to 0° C. 1.2 equivalents of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and dimethylformamide are added dropwise to the mixture with stirring. The mixture is sitrred at 0° C for 1/2 to 3 hours and then an additional 2 to 5 hours at room temperature. The formed dicyclohexylurea is removed by filtration and the filtrate is diluted with chloroform, methylene chloride or ethylacetate, washed with water and dried to give the product. 
     Compounds of Formula V wherein M is aminoalkanoyloxymethyl are prepared by mixing a suspension of the sodium salt of an acid of Formula V and an excess of an appropriate amine protected aminoalkanoyloxymethyl halide in a solvent such as dimethylformamide, hexamethylphosphoramide or dimethylsulfoxide for 2 to 96 hours. The mixture is then diluted with a solvent such as ethylacetate or methylene chloride washed with water, aqueous base, then water. The organic phase is separated and the precipitate isolated by conventional means followed by deprotection of the amine group to give the product. 
     Compounds of Formula V wherein X is a heterocyclic thio group as described in Formula I are prepared by dissolving 1  equivalent of the acid in the form of a salt, such as, the sodium salt wherein X is acetoxy in about 500 to 2000 ml of water at a temperature of from 50° to 80° C under a nitrogen atmosphere and subsequently adding 1 equivalent of a base, such as, triethylammonium or sodium bicarbonate and 1 to 3 equivalents of an appropriate heterocyclicthiol selected from a compound having the following structure: ##STR13## The reaction mixture is stirred at 50° to 90° C for about 2 to 6 hours after which the water is evaporated, and the residue is taken up in an organic solvent, such as, methanol, ethanol, or dimethylformamide, and precipitated with an organic solvent, such as, acetonitrile, acetone, ethylacetate or chloroform. 
     Compounds of general Formula VI are prepared by treating a compound of the formula: ##STR14## wherein halo is chlorine or bromine, and Aryl, Y, Z, n and W 2  have the meanings defined in general Formula VI with pyridine in a solvent, such as, a lower alcohol, for example, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or n-butanol or dimethylsulphoxide, dimethylformamide or aqueous mixture of these solvents, for from 1/2 hour to 24 hours at a temperature range from 0° to 125° C. The products can be isolated by conventional procedures. In some instances, it may be more convenient to convert the acid as represented by Formula VII to the corresponding methyl ester by, for example, treating the acid with diazomethane at -10° C then stirring the mixture for about 10 to 30 minutes at room temperature. 
     When the substituent group W 2  in compounds of general Formula VII represents amino, the amino group is protected by a suitable blocking group, for example, tert-butoxycarbonyl prior to the treatment with pyridine. The blocking group may be removed after the coupling reaction by a mild acid hydrolysis or hydrogenolysis by procedures known in the art. 
     The compounds of Formula VII are prepared by direct halomethylation as described hereinbelow of an acid of the formula: ##STR15## wherein Aryl, Y, Z, n and W 2  have the meanings defined in general Formula VI which are commercially available or are obtained by methods well-known in the art. 
     When the substituent group W 2  in the compound of Formula VIII represents amino, the amino group is protected by a suitable blocking group as for example described hereinabove in reference to compounds of general Formula VII. 
     The halomethylated derivatives of the compounds of Formula VIII are obtained by several methods. For example, the compound of Formula VIII with a source of formaldehyde such as paraformaldehyde, ClCH 2  OCH 3 , or formaline solution in the presence of a Lewis acid, such as ZnCl 2 , AlCl 3 , SnCl 4  or ClSO 3  H in a solvent, such as petroleum ether, chloroform, carbontetrachloride or benzene, at a temperature ranging from -10° to 100° C during which time hydrogen chloride gas or hydrogen bromide gas is bubbled into the reaction mixture will give compounds of Formula VII. 
     Additionally, upon reaction of an acid of Formula VIII with trioxane in acetic acid or phosphoric acid at temperatures of from -10° to 100° C during which time hydrogen bromide or hydrogen chloride gas is bubbled through the reaction mixture, compounds of general Formula VII are obtained. Or, the reaction of an acid of Formula VIII in the presence of a Lewis acid, such as those described hereinabove, with chloromethyl ether at temperatures of from -10° to 100° C or the reaction of the acid in acetic acid or concentrated sulfuric acid with dichloromethyl ether in the presence of zinc chloride will give the compounds of general Formula VII. 
     The compounds of Formula VII wherein W 2  represents COOH, and Aryl is phenyl are preferably obtained by treating the corresponding diethyl ester of Formula VIII with 40% formaline in the presence of anhydrous zinc chloride in benzene at about 50° C during which time hydrogen chloride or hydrogen bromide gas is bubbled into the reaction mixture followed by acid hydrolysis. 
     Compounds of Formula VII wherein W 2  represents SO 3  H may be obtained by the halomethylation reactions described using an acid of Formula VIII wherein W 2  represent SO 3  H or the carboxymethyl ester thereof in which latter case the resulting halomethylated compound is converted to the free COOH by acid hydrolysis. 
     In the halomethylation of compounds of Formula VIII wherein W 2  represents OH it may be advantageous to protect the OH group prior to halomethylation as described by B. Reichert, et al., Pharmazie vol. 5, 10 (1950). 
     Compounds of this invention wherein R 1  is 5-indanyl are prepared by reacting the corresponding acid, that is, compounds of general Formula I wherein R 1  is hydrogen with 5-indanol in an inert solvent in the presence of N,N&#39;-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide at pH of about 2.5 and a temperature of about 20° to 30° C. Equimolar amounts of the reactants are employed or a slight excess of the 5-indanyl may be used. The molar amount of N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide employed is equivalent to the molar amount of 5-indanol. Suitable solvents for the reaction are dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ethylacetate, dimethylformamide and methylene chloride. 
     The compounds of this invention may also be prepared by linking a modified polystyrene containing nitrophenol or hydroxysuccinimide groups with an acid of general Formula VI by the general procedure described in Canadian Pat. No. 892,580 issued Feb. 8, 1972, by substituting a compound of general Formula V for the penicillanic acid derivatives described therein.

     EXAMPLE 2 
     p-Chloromethylphenylglycine 
     A mixture of 2.03 g of trifluoroacetylated phenylglycine, 0.8 g of zinc chloride in chloromethylether is heated at 65° C for 12 hours. The excess reagent is removed under vacuum, and the residue is dissolved in CH 2  Cl 2 , washed with saturated NaHCO 3  solution then saturated sodium chloride solution. The neutral organic phase is dried over Na 2  SO 4  and concentrated to an oil which was purified by column chromatography yielding the methyl ester of p-chlorophenylglycine which can be converted to the acid hydrochloride by hydrolysis with aqueous hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloride can be converted to the free base by adjusting the pH of the aqueous solution to about 5. Similarly, the chloromethyl derivatives listed in Table II may be prepared from the listed acid.

     EXAMPLE 4 
     5-Chloromethyl-2-thienylacetyl chloride 
     2-Thiophenecarboxylic acid is treated in a solution of chloroform with chloromethyl ether in the presence of 0.9 to 2.2 equivalents of aluminum chloride to give 5-chloromethyl-2-thienylcarboxylic acid. Treatment of the obtained acid with excess thionyl chloride at room temperature for about 16 hours yields the acid chloride which is reacted with diazomethane to give the corresponding diazoketone. A methanol solution of the diazoketone is irradiated under nitrogen for about one hour with a high pressure mercury lamp using a Quarz filter. The methyl 5-chloromethyl-2-thienylacetate is obtained upon work up and column chromatography on silica gel. The acetate is hydrolyzed by treatment of a 1:1 mixture of acetic acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid at room temperature overnight to give 5-chloromethyl-2-thienylacetic acid. 
     When in the procedure of Example 1 (B) 5-chloromethyl-2-thienylacetic acid, is substituted for p-chloromethylphenyl acetic acid, 5-chloromethyl-2-thienylacetyl chloride is obtained.

     By the procedure of Example 14, only substituted 1 g of 7-amino-3-methyl-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid for 3-acetyloxymethyl-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2carboxylic acid, 7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]acetyl]amino]-3-methyl-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid is obtained. M.P. 145°-146° C.

     p-Chloromethylphenylglycine wherein the amino group is protected with tert-butoxycarbonyl, is treated with isobutyl chloroformate in the presence of triethylamine. The thus obtained mixed anhydride is reacted with the triethylamine salt of 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2carboxylic acid at 0° C for about 4 hours. The resulting product is isolated and the amine protecting group is removed by acid hydrolysis to give 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-aminoacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2carboxylic acid. 
     When an appropriate amount of an amino acid listed in the following Table VI is substituted for p-chloromethylphenylglycine in the above Example 16, the corresponding cephalosporin derivative listed in the following Table VI is obtained.

     α -Carboxy-p-chloromethylphenylacetyl nitrophenyl polymer, prepared according to the procedure described in Canadian Pat. No. 892,580, carrying 4 m. mole of α-chloromethylphenylmalonic acid is stirred for about 8 hours in 20 ml of dry methylene chloride solution containing 1 m. mole of 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid triethylammonium salt, which is prepared from 544 mg of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (1 m. mole) and 0.56 ml of triethylamine (1 m. mole) at room temperature. After only traces of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid remain in solution, which is determined by thin layer chromatography on cellulose in 70% aqueous propanol, the polymer is filtered off and washed with 3 portions of 50 ml each of methylene chloride. The combined filtrates are evaporated and the residue is dissolved in 20 ml of distilled water. This solution is acidified to pH 2 by adding 0.2N hydrochloric acid and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic solution is dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated at room temperature. The reamaining solid is dried over night over phosphorus pentoxide under vacuum to give 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl] -7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-carboxyacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid. 
     When in the procedure of Example 17 an appropriate amount of an acid listed in the following Table VII is substituted for p-chloromethylphenylmalonic acid the respective cephalosporin derivative listed in Table VII are obtained

     α-Carboxy-p-chloromethylphenylacetylnitrophenyl polymer prepared as in the procedure of Example 22, carrying four m. mole of p-chloromethylphenylmalonic acid was suspended for about 8 hours in 20 ml of dry methylene chloride solution containing 1 millimole of 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid propionyloxymethyl ester. After only traces of the 7-amino-cephalosporanic acid ester derivative remain in solution, which is determined by thin layer chromatography on cellulose in 70% aqueous propanol, the polymer is filtered off and washed with portions of 50 ml each of methylene chloride. The combined filtrates are evaporated and the residue is dissolved in 20 ml of distilled water. The solution is acidified to a pH of 2 by adding 0.2 normal hydrochloric acid and extracted twice with ethylacetate. The organic solution is dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated at room temperature. The remaining solid is dried overnight over phosphorus pentoxide under vacuum to give 3-[(acetyloxy)-methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-carboxyacetyl]-amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]-oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid propionyloxymethyl ester.

     (A) A mixture of 7.5 g of 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-aminoacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid and 200 ml of pyridine is stirred at room temperature for 24 hours after which the solvent is removed in vacuo at room temperature. The product is triturated with 2:1 benzene-acetone to give the amine pyridiniummethyl derivative. 
     (B) At 0° C 10 ml of trifluoroacetic acid is added to 5g of 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(pyridiniummethyl)phenyl]-2-aminoacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid wherein the 2-amino group is protected with tert-butoxycarbonyl obtained in (a) above. The mixture is stirred for several minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The excess trifluoroacetic acid is removed in vacuo and the remaining residue is triturated with diethylether then dissolved in 175 ml of water. The solution is filtered and the pH of the filtrate adjusted to 5.5 by adding Amberlite IR4B resin that has been washed several times with water. The resin is filtered off and the water concentrated in vacuo. A precipitate forms from the concentrate which is removed and washed with ethanol to give 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(pyridiniummethyl)phenyl] -2-aminoacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2 -carboxylic acid. 
     In a similar manner when appropriate amounts of chloromethylated derivatives listed in the following Table XII are reacted with pyridine as in Example 28(A) and the resulting product subsequently treated as in Example 28(B), the respective pyridiniummethyl substituted cephalosporin products listed in Table XII are obtained.
