Abstract
Abstract Deprotonation of di(3-methylindol-2-yl)phenylmethane (L2H2) or 2 - methoxyphenyldi ( 3 - methylindol - 2 - yl ) methane ( L 2 ′ H 2 ) with two equivalents of nBuLi, followed by reactions with Cp2TiCl2 or Cp2ZrCl2 yielded complexes Cp 2 TiL 2 ( 1 ) , Cp 2 TiL 2 ′ ( 2 ) , Cp 2 ZrL 2 ( 3 ) and Cp 2 ZrL 2 ′ ( 4 ) . Compounds 1–4 were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, and compounds 1, 3, and 4 were further analyzed by X-ray crystallography and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of 1, 3, and 4 illustrate that chelating di(3-methylindol-2-yl)methanes have a structural relationship to coordinated bis(pyrazolyl)borates.
