Gv. Loukova et Vv. Strelets, Electrochemical potentials, optical transitions, and frontier orbitals of non-bridged and bridged bent sandwich zirconocene complexes, RUSS CHEM B, 49(6), 2000, pp. 1037-1039
A linear correlation between the electrochemical gap values (G = E-ox - E-r
ed) and the energies of optical transition in the UV-vis region was found a
nd justified for a series of non-bridged and bridged bent-sandwich zirconoc
ene complexes with the general formula R(eta(5)-L)(2)ZrX2, where L = cyclop
entadienyl (Cp), indenyl (Ind), fluorenyl (Flu); X = Cl, Me; the bridging g
roup R = SiMe2, (CH2)(2).
