cyclo-Tri-μ-oxido-tris{[(η5,η5)-1,2-bis(cyclopentadienyl)-1,1,2,2-tetramethyldisilane]zirconium(IV)}: a trimeric disila-bridged oxidozirconocene

Abstract

The title compound, [Zr3(C14H20Si2)3O3], consists of three disila-bridged zirconocene units, which are connected via an oxide ligand, forming a nearly planar six-membered ring with a maximum displacement of 0.0191 (8) Å. The compound was isolated as a by-product from a mixture of [(C5H4SiMe2)2ZrCl2] and Li[AlH4] in Et2O.
