Abstract
The reaction of sodium metal with Cp2ZrCl2 and RGaCl2 in hexane affords Cp2Zr(GaR)2 (R = −C6H3-2,6-(2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2)2) as deep green-black air-sensitive crystals. Essentially, Cp2Zr(GaR)2 is isoelectronic with the well-known 18-electron zirconocene dicarbonyl, Cp2Zr(CO)2, complex. The title compound is the first example of an organometallic compound containing Ga−Zr bonds (Ga−Zr = 2.6350(8) Å).
