The reaction of [Cp 2 Ti(CCPh) 2 ], [Cp 2 Zr(CCPh) 2 ], or [(C 5 H 4 Si-Me 3 ) 2 Zr(CCPh) 2 ] with vanadocene in toluene at room temperature gives [Cp 2 V(m-h 2 :h 4 -butadiyne)MCp ' 2 ] 1 (M Ti, Cp' C 5 H 5 ), 2 (M Zr, Cp' C 5 H 5 ), or 3 (M Zr, Cp' C 5 H 4 SiMe 3 ), respectively. These compounds, which have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR and Raman spectroscopy, exhibit similar magnetic susceptibilities. According to an X-ray diffraction analysis of 3, the [Cp 2 V] and Cp ' 2 Zr metallocene moieties are bonded to a butadiene (or butadiyne) framework through the two internal carbon atoms for [Cp 2 V], and though the two internal and the two external carbon atoms for [Cp '2 Zr]. The two internal carbon atoms of the butadiene skeleton are planar and tetracoordinated. 1101 s(alkynyl)metallocene, [Cp ' 2 M(C CPh) 2 ], and vanadocene. These compounds have been characterized by mass spectrometry, magnetic susceptiblity measurements, and IR and Raman spectroscopy. The structural arrangement in compounds has been confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure determination of compound 3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
