Abstract
Reduction of Zr(IV) metallocenium cations with sodium amalgam (NaHg) produces EPR signals assignable to Zr(III) metallocene complexes. The chloro-bridged heterodinuclear ansa-zirconocenium cation [(SBI)Zr(μ-Cl)_2AlMe_2]^+ (SBI = rac-dimethylsilylbis(1-indenyl)), present in toluene solution as its B(C_6F_5)_4^– salt, thus gives rise to an EPR signal assignable to the complex (SBI)Zr^(III)(μ-Cl)_2AlMe_2, while (SBI)ZrIII-Me and (SBI)Zr^(III)(μ-H)_2Al^(i)Bu_2 are formed by reduction of [(SBI)Zr(μ-Me)_2AlMe_2]^+ B(C_6F_5)_4– and [(SBI)Zr(μ-H)_3(AliBu_2)_2]^+ B(C_6F_5)_4^–, respectively. These products can also be accessed, along with (SBI)ZrIII-iBu and [(SBI)ZrIII]^+ AlR_4^–, when (SBI)ZrMe_2 is allowed to react with HAl^(i)Bu_2, eliminating isobutane en route to the Zr(III) complex. Further studies concern interconversion reactions between these and other (SBI)Zr(III) complexes and reaction mechanisms involved in their formation.
