“…Kinetic study was carried out under pseudo-first-order condition (CpCr(CO) 3 H in excess); therefore, establishment of purity of 3 is not practical due to the remainingCpCr(CO) 3 H. Nonetheless, the conversion calculated from the limiting Cp* 2 Zr(CH 3 ) 2 is greater than 95%. 1 H NMR of 3 (126 MHz, C 6 D 6 , 298 K) δ 4.75 (s, Cp, 5H), 1.73 (s, C 5 Me 5, 30H), 0.13 (s, Me, 3H).…”
