Ie. Nifantev et Pv. Ivchenko, SYNTHESIS OF ZIRCONIUM AND HAFNIUM ANSA-METALLOCENES VIA TRANSMETALATION OF DIELEMENT-SUBSTITUTED BIS(CYCLOPENTADIENYL) AND BIS(INDENYL) LIGANDS, Organometallics, 16(4), 1997, pp. 713-715
Distannylated bis(cyclopentadienyl) and bis(indenyl) ligands react wit
h ZrCl4 and HfCl4 to give the corresponding ansa-metallocenes in high
yield. It was shown that the racemic forms of ansa-metallocenes could
be prepared from the racemic forms of starting dielement-substituted b
is(cyclopentadienyl) ligands.
