Abstract

m-Terphenylzinc iodides RZnl₂Li(OEt₂)₂ (1) and RZnI (2) (R = C₆H₃-2,6-(2,4,6-i-Pr₃C ₆H₂)₂) were prepared and structurally characterized. The sodium metal reduction of Cp₂-ZrCl₂ with 2 afforded Cp₂Zr(ZnR)₂ (3) as the first structurally characterized compound containing a Zn-Zr bond. The nature of the unique Zn-Zr bond for 3 was further probed by DFT computations.
