Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus. 227. HP₄º as a Complex Ligand: Formation and Properties of [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂ZrCl(P₄H)], [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂ZrCl(P₄H)], and [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₃Zr(P₄H)] The novel complexes [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂ZrCl(P₄H)] ( 1 ), [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂ZrCl(P₄H)] ( 2 ), and [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₃Zr(P₄H)] ( 3 ) have been obtained by reaction of a solution of (Na/K)HP₄ with the zirconocen derivatives [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂ZrCl₂], [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂ZrCl₂], and [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₃(η¹-C₅ H₅)Zr] under suitable conditions. The structure of the compounds 1 – 3 , which are only stable in solution, has been elucidated by means of ³¹P-NMR spectroscopy. It is highly probable that the exo,endo isomer exists in each case. In addition, further isomers of lower relative abundancies have been observed, in which the ligands presumably exhibit a different spatial orientation relatively to each other.
