S. Sharma et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME THIOPHENECARBOXYLATES OF BIS(CYCLOPENTADIENYL) HAFNIUM (IV) CHLORIDE, Synthesis and reactivity in inorganic and metal-organic chemistry, 24(8), 1994, pp. 1411-1421
The reactions of hafnocene dichloride with 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid
(2-TCH), 2-thiopheneacetic acid (2-TAH), 3-thiophenecarboxylic acid (3
-TCH), 3-thiopheneacetic acid (3-TAH), and 4-(2)-thienylbutyric acid (
2-TBH) in various stoichiometric ratios have been studied, and complex
es of the type Cp2Hf(L)Cl and CpHf(L)2Cl (where L is the bidentate thi
ophenecarboxylate ion) were obtained. Magnetic susceptibility data sug
gest that these complexes are diamagnetic.
