RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Evidence of fluoride transfer from the anion of [Zr{C5H3[SiMe2(η1-NtBu)]2}]+[RB(C6F5)3]_ complexes to the zirconocenium cation A1 Cano Sierra, Jesús A1 Sudupe Ormeño, María A1 Royo Gracia, Pascual A1 González Mosquera, Marta Elena K1 Homogeneous catalysis K1 Ion pairs K1 Polymerization K1 Reaction mechanisms K1 Zirconium K1 Ciencia K1 Química inorgánica K1 Science K1 Chemistry, inorganic AB In summary, we have found experimental evidence to support a reaction pathway involving direct fluoride migrationto the zirconium cation without previous transfer of C6F5.It is noteworthy that the opening of the silyl–amido bridge was not observed in the course of these activations. Experiments with other donor ligands are in progress to investigate the conditions under which the ion pairs 1 and 2 may follow different decomposition routes and the possible mechanisms of these reactions.
