Synthesis of homo- and hetero-bimetallic complexes incorporating the [(η5-C5H4)CMe2(η5-C9H6)] ligand
Abstract
The new bimetallic complexes[(η5-C5H5)MCl2{(η5-C5H4)CMe2(η5-C9H6)}M*Cl2(η5-C5H5)](M = Zr, M*= Zr, Hf; M = Hf, M*= Zr, Hf), [(η5-C5H5)ZrCl2]{[(η5-C5H4)CM2(η5-C9H6)}ZrCl2(η5-C5Me5)], [(η5-C5H5)ZrCl2{(η5-C5H4)Cme2(η5-C9H6)}Rh(CO)2] and [(η5-C5H5)ZrCl2]{[(η5-C5H4)CMe2(η5-C9H6)}Mn(CO)3] have been prepared from the precursors [{Me2C(η5-C5H4)(η2-C9H6)}M(η5-C5H5)Cl](M = Zr 1, Hf 2); the X-ray crystal structure of 1 is reported.
