Abstract

A series of organozirconium dichloride and 1, 4-diphenylbutadiene complexes featuring a dianionic ligand with a cyclopentadienyl-type functionality and an appended amido N donor have been prepared and structurally characterized. The stereoelectronic influence of the bifunctional ligand on the solid-state structure (monomer vs dimer) of [(Ring) SiMe2 (NR)] ZrCl2, where Ring= C5H4, C5Me4, C9H6 and R= i-Pr, t-Bu, and the nature of the Zr-diene ...
