Novel group 4b ansa-metallocene complexes with the shortest bridge: [1,1′-isopropylydene-3,3′-di-t.Bu-bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)] Ti and Zr dichlorides
1997
Abstract Reaction of [1,1′-isopropylidene-3,3′-di-tert.butyl-bis(η5-cyclopentadienide)] dilithium with TiCl3, followed by treatment with HCl, and ZrCl4 in various solvent mixtures in the temperature range 0–50°C gives corresponding ansa-metallocene dichlorides as mixtures of the anti/syn-isomers, 1:1. The crystal and molecular structures of three of the four isomers were determined, i.e. rac(anti)-[1,1′-isopropylidene-3,3′-di-tert.butyl-bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)]TiCl2, space group B2/b, rac(anti)-[1,1′-isopropylidene-3,3′-di-tert.butyl-bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)]ZrCl2, space group P212121, and meso(syn)-1,1′-[isopropylidene-3,3′-di-tert.butyl-bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)]ZrCl2, space group P21/n.
Rare earth metal complexes that contain linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligands: ansa-metallocene mimics and “constrained geometry” catalysts
2003
A survey of group 3 metal complexes that contain a linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligand is given. Originally designed as ansa-metallocene analogues for the development of single-component olefin polymerization catalysts, variations in the metals and ligand substituents have allowed the synthetic access to new rare earth metal complexes including olefin polymerization initiators, divalent complexes and heterobimetallic metallocenes. The linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligands have made half-sandwich complexes of group 3 metals accessible in a more systematic manner and provided a better understanding of the electronic and steric constraints of chelating ligands for the larger rare earth metal …
