The new eta(2)-formamidinyl Zr complex Zr(NMeCyc)(2)[C(NAr)NMeCyc](2) (1) (Ar = 2,6-dimethylphenyl, Cyc = cyclohexyl) was prepared upon double insertion of 2,6-dimethyl phenyl isocyanide in the Zr-N bond of Zr(NMeCyc)(4). 1 was then converted into Zr(OC6F5)(2)[C(NAr)N-MeCyc](2) (2) and ZrCl2[C(NAr)NMeCyc](2) (3) by reacting it with C6F5OH and [NHMe3]Cl, respectively. The crystal structure of 1 was established by X-ray analysis. All the complexes have been tested as catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene and 1-hexene in the presence of [NHMe2Ph][B(C6F5)(4)] as cocatalyst.
