Metallation of 1 with n-BuLi andTlOEt gave the corresponding lithium 3 and thallium 5 salts. The disilylcylopentadienes C5H4 /1-SiMe3 /1-SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2) (6)and C5H4 /1,1-[SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2)]2 (7) were prepared by reaction of 3 with the corresponding chlorosilanes. Compound 7reacted with TiCl4 to give the monocyclopentadienyl compound [Ti{h5-C5H4SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2)}Cl3] (8), while 5 was used toprepare the titanocenes [Ti(h5-Cp){h5-C5H4SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2)}Cl2] (Cp /C5H4SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2) 9, C5H5 10, C5Me5 11) byreaction with the appropriate TiCpCl3 derivative. The related dicyclopentadienyl [Zr{h5-C5H4SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2)}2Cl2] (12),[Zr(h5-C5H5){h5-C5H4SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2)}Cl2] (13), and indenyl [Zr(h5-C5H5){h5-C9H6SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2)}Cl2] (14) zirconiumderivatives were isolated by reaction of ZrCl4 and Zr(h5-C5H5)Cl3 /DME with the lithium salts 3 and 4, respectively.Alkylation of the metallocene complexes using MeLi, MgMeCl, Mg(CH2Ph)Cl and Mg(CH2Ph)2(THF)2 afforded the monomethyltitanium [Ti(h5-C5H5){h5-C5H4SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2)}ClMe] (15) and the dialkyl cyclopentadienyl [M(h5-C5H5){h5-C5H4SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2)}R2] (R /Me, M /Ti 16, Zr 18; R /CH2Ph, M /Ti 20, Zr 22), [Zr{h5-C5H4SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2)}2R2] (R /Me17, CH2Ph 21) and indenyl derivatives [Zr(h5-C5H5){h5-C9H6SiMe2(CH2CH /CH2)}R2] (R /Me 19, CH2Ph 23). The molecularstructure of 11 was studied by X-ray diffraction methods. The reactions of the dialkyl derivatives with B(C6F5)3 were monitored byNMR spectroscopy at variable temperature. The catalytic activity of the dichloro zirconium complexes in the presence ofmethylalumoxane (MAO) for ethylene polymerization was determined.
