SYNTHESIS OF PERMETHYLINDENYL COMPLEXES OF THE EARLY TRANSITION-METALS - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF TI(ETA(5)-C(9)ME(7))CL-3 AND ZR(ETA(5)-C(9)ME(7))(2)CL-2

Addition of 1-(trimethylsilyl)heptamethylindene (C9Me7SiMe3) to a suspension of the anhydrous halides MCl4 (M = Ti, Zr, and Hf) in THF gives the half-sandwich complexes M(η5-C9Me7)Cl3 (M = Ti, Zr, and Hf) in good yield. Ti(η5-C9Me7)2Cl3 crystallizes in the centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Pb...
