Using a tetradentate, dianionic ligand several new zirconium complexes have been prepared. These pyrrolyl compounds, unlike their titanium analogues, are inactive in hydrohydrazination catalysis. However, they are quite stable, and their reactivity with H2NR, where R = Ph, C6H11, and NHPh, is reported here. Two of the complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction.

We report here a number of dianionic 1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene complexes of titanium and zirconium synthesised by a salt metathesis reaction. The reaction of either CpTiCl3 or Cp2TiCl2 with the dilithium salt of N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene [; abbreviated (Dipp)2DADLi2] afforded the mono-cyclopentadienyl titanium complex [η(5)-CpTi((Dipp)2DAD)Cl] () bearing a dianionic ...

Reaction of the amido-bridged zirconium complex (CpSiMe(2)NSiMe(2)Cp)ZrCH(3) (1) (Cp = C(5)H(4)) with half an equivalent of B(C(6)F(5))(3) or Ph(3)CB(C(6)F(5))(4) afforded the binuclear zirconium complexes [(CpSiMe(2)NSiMe(2)Cp)Zr)(2)(mu-CH(3))][RB(C(6)F(5))(3)] (2a, R = CH(3), 2b, R = C(6)F(5)) with a methyl group as the bridge between the two zirconium atoms. In the presence of one equivalent...

The reactions of a zirconium salt with 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate (btec), bathophenanthroline (Bphen) and thiocyanate ions were synthesized and studied by changing the mole ratio, the order of reactant and their pH. It is found that the coordination mode of btec acid depends on the control of reaction conditions. Monodentate, bidentate and bridging modes were investigated by FT-IR spectros...

Only one of eight possible diastereomers of the organometallic chiral-at-metal complex [ZrL2(CH2Ph)2] (L = a bidentate, chiral non-racemic pyrdine alcoholate) is observed by NMR spectroscopy in the slow exchange regime.

The synthesis of a series of C1-symmetric metallocene complexes rac-[1-(5,6-dialkoxy-2-methyl1-η5-indenyl)-2-(9-η5-fluorenyl)ethane]zirconium dichlorides (alkyl: n-butyl, n-hexyl, n-octyl, ndecyl) is described. These complexes are versatile catalysts in the polymerization of propylene after in situ activation with triisobutylaluminum (TIBA) and Ph3C[B(C6F5)4] in toluene and heptane solution. Al...

A number of half-zirconocene anilide complexes of the type Cp*ZrCl(2)[N(2,6-R(1)(2)C(6)H(3))R(2)] [R(1) = (i)Pr (1, 3), Me (2); R(2) = Me (1, 2), Bn (3)] and Cp*ZrCl[N(2,6-Me(2)C(6)H(3))Me](2) (4) (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) were synthesized from the reactions of Cp*ZrCl(3) with the lithium salts of the corresponding anilide in diethyl ether at room temperature. All new zirconium comple...

New Oxovanadium(IV) and zirconium (IV) complexes were synthesized with tridentate ligand and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance measurements, molecular weight determinations, IR, electronic, and H NMR studies. The Oxovanadium(IV) complex is non-electrolyte whereas zirconium(IV) complex is 1:2 electrolytes in nature and may be formulated as[(VOL)2SO4] and [ZrL2]Cl2 respective...

Zirconium amides have become increasingly popular and useful due to their widespread use as precursors to other zirconium complexes and their use in the production of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Herein we report the mol-ecular structure of tris-(di-methyl-amido)-bis-(di-methyl-amine)-zirconium(IV) iodide, [Zr(C2H6N)3(C2H7N)2]I. The bond lengths and bond angles are consistent with a slightly...
