Abstract
The ansa-zirconocene complex rac-Me_2Si(1-indenyl)_2ZrCl_2 ((SBI)ZrCl_2) reacts with diisobutylaluminum hydride and trityl tetrakis(perfluorophenyl)borate in hydrocarbon solutions to give the cation [(SBI)Zr(μ-H)_3(Al^iBu_2)_2]^+, the identity of which is derived from NMR data and supported by a crystallographic structure determination. Analogous reactions proceed with many other zirconocene dichloride complexes. [(SBI)Zr(μ-H)_3(Al^iBu2)_2]^+ reacts reversibly with ClAl^iBu_2 to give the dichloro-bridged cation [(SBI)Zr(μ-Cl)_2Al^iBu_2]^+. Reaction with AlMe_3 first leads to mixed-alkyl species [(SBI)Zr(μ-H)_3(AlMe_x^iBu_(2−x))_2^]+ by exchange of alkyl groups between aluminum centers. At higher AlMe_3/Zr ratios, [(SBI)Zr(μ-Me)_2AlMe_2]^+, a constituent of methylalumoxane-activated catalyst systems, is formed in an equilibrium, in which the hydride cation [(SBI)Zr(μ-H)_3(AlR_2)_2]^+ strongly predominates at comparable HAl^iBu_2 and AlMe_3 concentrations, thus implicating the presence of this hydride cation in olefin polymerization catalyst systems.
