Synthesis and X-Ray Structure of a Zirconacyclopropene-Alkyne Complex: On the Mechanism of Zirconium-Mediated Reductive Coupling of Alkynes

Abstract

This paper describes the first preparation and X-ray crystal structure determination of a zirconacyclopropene-alkyne (bis-alkyne) complex. Species of this type have been proposed as intermediates in the zirconocene- mediated reductive coupling of two alkynes to form a zirconacyclopentadiene.
