The crystal and molecular structure of (1—5-η-fluorenyl)(1—3-η-fluorenyl) dichlorozirconium(IV)
Abstract
Steric interaction between the tetrahedrally co-ordinated ligands in (fl)2ZrCl2(fl = fluorenyl) is avoided by opening the fl–Zr–fl angle and displacement of one fl unit, thus reducing a normally pentahapto system to one which is trihapto (π-allylic).
