REACTION OF DISUBSTITUTED 1,3-BUTADIYNES R1C-EQUIVALENT-TO-CC-EQUIVALENT-TO-CR-2 WITH ZIRCONOCENE COMPLEXES - CLEAVAGE OF THE CENTRAL C-C SINGLE BOND TO FORM SYMMETRICALLY AND UNSYMMETRICALLY DOUBLY ACETYLIDE-BRIDGED METALLOCENE COMPLEXES
U. Rosenthal et al., REACTION OF DISUBSTITUTED 1,3-BUTADIYNES R1C-EQUIVALENT-TO-CC-EQUIVALENT-TO-CR-2 WITH ZIRCONOCENE COMPLEXES - CLEAVAGE OF THE CENTRAL C-C SINGLE BOND TO FORM SYMMETRICALLY AND UNSYMMETRICALLY DOUBLY ACETYLIDE-BRIDGED METALLOCENE COMPLEXES, Organometallics, 13(7), 1994, pp. 2903-2906
It has been shown that the zirconocene complex Cp2Zr(THF) (Me3SiC2SiMe
3) readily reacts with disubstituted butadiynes R1C=CC=CR2 (R1 = R2 =
SiMe3; R1 = SiMe3, R2 = (t)Bu or Ph) to form the dimeric symmetrical c
omplex [Cp2Zr(mu-eta1:eta2-C=CSiMe3)]2 (2) and doubly acetylide-bridge
d, unsymmetrical complexes [Cp2Zr(mu-eta1:eta2-C=CSiMe3) (mu-eta1:eta2
-C=C(t)Bu)ZrCp2] (3) and [Cp2Zr(mu-eta1:eta2-C=CSiMe3) (mu-eta1:eta2-C
=CPh)ZrCp2] (4), respectively. The structure of the products has been
established by X-ray structure analyses.
