Abstract

The meso-and rac-like isomers of bis {η5-(1-benzyl) indenyl} zirconium dichloride (5), bis {η5-(1-para-methoxybenzyl) indenyl} zirconium dichloride (6), bis {η5-(1-para-fluoro-benzyl) indenyl} zirconium dichloride (7) and bis {η5-(1-phenylethyl) indenyl} zirconium dichloride (8) were synthesized and isolated. Solid-state structures of meso-and rac-like 5 were determined by X-ray structure analysis. Polymerization properties of the ...
