Synthesis and Structures of (Dialkylamino)ethylcyclopentadienyl Derivatives of Zinc

Lithium salts of (dialkylamino)ethylcyclopentadienyl react with either ZnCl2 or Zn(OAc)2 to afford dimeric derivatives containing bridging chlorides or acetates, respectively. X-ray structural determinations of three such derivatives show that the cyclopentadienyl ligands are bound to the zinc cente...

Description
Summary:Lithium salts of (dialkylamino)ethylcyclopentadienyl react with either ZnCl2 or Zn(OAc)2 to afford dimeric derivatives containing bridging chlorides or acetates, respectively. X-ray structural determinations of three such derivatives show that the cyclopentadienyl ligands are bound to the zinc centers in an η1 fashion and via their amine groups, thereby leading to a stable six-membered metallacycle.
