Abstract

Unexpected attraction between extremely bulky cyclopentadienyl ligands of opposite chirality has been observed in perarylated metallocenes [(Ar C)M]. The exceptional stability of such sterically congested metallocenes (see structure) is explained by a merry-go-round C-H⋯C(π) hydrogen-bond network. This stabilizing force even enables spontaneous reduction of a Sm precursor to a Sm metallocene. (Figure Presented) © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
