ansa‐(3‐R‐indenyl)(fluorenyl) zirconocene complexes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) incorporating a pendant arene substituent on the 3‐position of indenyl ring have been synthesized. The structure of complex 4 was further confirmed by X‐ray diffraction analysis. When activated with methylaluminoxane, four sterically less encumbered complexes 1, 2, 4 and 5 could catalyze the dimerization of propylene in toluene at 100°C
