Chlorido(η5-cyclopentadienyl)[(4a,4b,8a,9,9a-η)-fluorenyl](fluorenyl-κC9)zirconium(IV) toluene solvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zr(C5H5)(C13H9)2Cl]·C7H8, the ZrIV atom is coordinated by a Cl atom, a cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligand [Zr–centroid (Cp) = 2.199 (3) Å] and two fluorenyl ligands (Fl) [Zr–centroid (Fl) = 2.273 (2) Å and Zr—CH from fluorenyl = 2.355 (2) Å] in a distorted tetragonal geometry. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the fluorenyl ring systems and the Cp ring are 36.62 (6)° for the η1-coordinated fluorenyl and 52.85 (6)° for the η5-coordinated fluorenyl, while the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two fluorenyl ring systems is 76.18 (7)°.
