چکیده
The crystal structure of a solvated zirconocene penta-fulvene complex with a bulky adamantyl-idene substitution pattern, namely (η5,η1-adamantyl-idene-penta-fulvene)bis-(η5-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)zirconium(IV)-toluene-n-hexane (8/1/1), [Zr(C15H18)(C5H5)2]·0.125C7H8·0.125C6H14, is reported. Reducing zirconocene dichloride with magnesium results in the formation of a low-valent zirconocene reagent that reacts readily with adamantyl-idene-penta-fulvene to give the aforementioned complex. Single crystal X-ray diffraction proves the dianion-like η5:η1 binding mode of the fulvene ligand to the central ZrIV atom. The asymmetric unit contains four independent mol-ecules of [η5:η1-adamantyl-idene-penta-fulvene]bis-[(η5)-cyclo-penta-dien-yl]zirconium(IV), together with half a mol-ecule of toluene disordered with half a mol-ecule of n-hexane (the solvent mol-ecules have no direct influence on the complex). In each of the four complex mol-ecules, the central ZrIV atom has a distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment. The measured crystal consisted of two domains with a refined ratio of 0.77:0.23.
