X-ray molecular structure of [Zr{(SiMe2)2(η5-C5H3))Cl(η2-C(i-Pr)N(2,6-Me2C6H3)}] A1 Barriola, Antonio M. A1 Cano Sierra, Ana María A1 Cuenca Agreda, José Tomás A1 Fernández Álvarez, Francisco José A1 Gómez Sal, Pilar A1 Manzanero Castillo, Antonio A1 Royo Gracia, Pascual K1 Zirconium K1 Dicyclopenladicnyl K1 Iminoacyl K1 Ciencia K1 Química inorgánica K1 Science K1 Chemistry, inorganic AB New dicyclopentadienyl iminoacyl zirconium complexes have been prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. The reaction of [Zr{SiMe2)2(η5-C5H3)2)Me2] with CNR (R  2,6-Me2C6H3, t-Bu) yields [Zr((SiMe2)2(η5-C5H3)2Me(η2-CMeNR)] (R = 2,6-Me2C6H3, t-Bu), which reacts with a stoichiometric amount of water to give the μ-oxo dimers [Zr{(SiMe2)2(η5-C5H3)2}(η2-CMeNR)]2(μ-O) (R = 2,6-Me2C6H3, t-Bu). The chloro neophyl complex [Zr{(SiMe2)2(η5-C5H3)2}Cl(CH2CMe2Ph)] and other β-hydrogen containing zirconium chloro alkyls [Zr{(SiMe2)2(η5-C5H3)2}CIR] (R  Et, n-Pr, i-Pr)_ with CN(2,6-Me2C6H3) to yield the related chloro iminoacyl complexes [Zr{(SiMe2)2(η5-C5H3)2)Cl}η2-CRN(2,6-Me2C6H3)}] (R  Et, n-Pr, i-Pr), whereas no reaction was observed when CN(t-Bu) was used. All the new iminoacyl complexes were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and the X-ray molecular structure of [Zr{(SiMe2)2(η5-C5H3)2)Cl{η2-C(i-Pr)N(2,6-Me2C6H3)}] studied by diffraction methods to prove the expected ‘inside’ coordination of the iminoacyl nitrogen atom.
