Abstract

Several new group 4 alkyl and aryl compounds have been synthesized that possess ancillary cyclooctatetraene ligands. Most of the complexes isolated are anionic and have stoichiometries of [Li(tmed)₂][(C₈H₈)MRCl₂], [Li(tmed)_x][(C₈H₈)MR₂Cl], or [Li(tmed)_x][(C₈H₈)MR₃], where M = Zr or Hf, and R = Me, Ph, p-Tol, or CH(SiMe₃)₂. Two neutral 14-electron compounds have also been prepared, (C₈H₈)M[CH(SiMe₃)₂]₂, where R = Zr or Hf. The compound (C₈H₈)Zr[CH(SiMe₃)₂]₂ appears to react reversibly with 7 atm of carbon monoxide but does not react with dihydrogen even at 70 atm. IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR data are reported, along with the crystal structures of two of the new compounds.
