note = "Funding Information: (Jp+ 15-5 Hz). This dimeric structure is analogous to that of niobocene, with which it is isoelectronic.8 The ZrIII dimer J.C.S. CHEM. COMM., 1979 (7b)is also obtained (in yields of ca. 50%) by ligand-induced elimination of H, when 'zirconocene' [prepared by auto- decomposition of (cp),Zr(R)H3 or by Na-Hg reduction of (cp),ZrCl,] is treated with (3b)at 50 {"}C in toluene or tetra- hydrofuran (THF) . These observations suggest that the polymeric zirconocenes prepared by conventional routes may contain bridging hydrides and the 7f :o-bridging cyclopentadienyl ligand, analogous to niobocene, rather than the bridging fulvalenide ligand found for green stable titanoceneg (Scheme 3).
