Abstract

Dimeric Zr(III) complexes have been prepared by thermolysis of (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Zr^II-bis(phosphme) compounds. These dimeric Zr(III) complexes can also be prepared by treating “zirconocene” with phosphines. The structure of these dimeric Zr(III) complexes has been determined spectroscopically to contain (η⁵-C₅H₅)(η¹:η⁵-C₅H₄])Zr units. “Zirconocene” is proposed to contain similar units. Oxidation of these Zr(III) compounds by secondary phosphines, by O₂, and by I₂ is described.
