Heteroleptic [1]zirconametalloarenophanes: potential precursors to metal-enriched metallopolymers†
Abstract
[1]Zirconametalloarenophanes [Cr(η5-C5H4)ZrCp′2(η7-C7H6)] and [Mn(η5-C5H4)ZrCp′2(η6-C6H5)] (Cp′ = C5H4tBu) have been isolated for the first time. These species represent potential precursors en route to metal-enriched metallopolymers by ROP. The electronic structure was assessed by means of
