Abstract

Abstract The new zirconocene [(η 5-C 5 H 4 SiMe 2 N (SiMe 3) 2] 2 ZrCl 2 (1) has been prepared in a convenient three-step synthesis. A crystal structure determination of 1 shows two molecules in the unit cell, one in which the (Me 3 Si) 2 NSiMe 2 groups are accommodated in a nearly synperiplanar conformation directly above and below the ZrCl 2 group, and one in which these groups exhibit a synclinal conformation. The reaction of 1 ...
