BORATO-CYCLOPENTADIENYL HALF-SANDWICH COMPLEXES - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF [NET4][C5H5B(C6F5)(3)]CENTER-DOT-CH2CL2 AND [NET4](2)[(C5H4B(C6F5)(3))ZR(MU-CL)CL-2](2)

Cation exchange of [Li(THF)(4)](+)[C5H5B(C6F5)(3)](-) with [NEt4][BF4]
gives the stable, ether-free salt [NEt4][C5H5B(C6F5)(3)], which react
s cleanly with Zr(NMe2)(4) to afford [NEt4][{C5H4B(C6F5)(3)}Zr(NMe2)(3
)] in good yield. The triamide is readily converted into the crystallo
graphically characterized dimeric trichloride [NEt4](2)[{C5H4B(C6F5)(3
)}Zr(mu-Cl)Cl-2](2).
