摘要:
Reaction of the bridged (dimethylsilanediyl)dicyclopentadienyl dilithium salt [(SiMe2)(C5H4)(2)Li-2] with MCl4, in toluene, gave the zirconium and hafnium complexes [M{(SiMe2)(eta(5)-C5H4)(2)}Cl-2] [M = Zr (1), Hf (2)]. Addition: of two equivalents of M'R (M' = MgCl, R = CH3; M' = Li, R = CH2CMe2Ph; M' = MgBz, R = CH2Ph) to toluene or diethyl ether solutions of [M{(SiMe2)(eta(5)-C5H4)(2)}Cl-2] afforded the dialkyl derivatives [M{(SiMe2)(eta(5)-C5H4)(2)}R-2] [R = CH3, M = Zr (3), Hf (4); R = CH2CMe2Ph, M = Zr (5), Hf (6); R = CH2Ph, M = Zr (7)]. Compound 1 reacted with LiMe and Mg(CH2Ph)(2)(THF)(2) in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of water to give the mu-oxo derivatives [Zr{(SiMe2)(eta(5)-C5H4)(2)}R](2)(mu-O) [R = CH3 (8), CH2Ph (9)]. The X-ray molecular structure of [Zr{(SiMe2)(eta(5)-C5H4)(2)}(CH2Ph)](2)(mu-O) (9) has been determined by diffraction methods. Its most remarkable feature is the planarity of the Bz-Zr-O-Zr-Bz and the linearity of the Zr-O-Zr systems. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
