Abstract:
Twice as reactive : The coordination chemistry of phosphane‐functionalized Zr and Hf cycloheptatrienyl–cyclopentadienyl complexes gives rise to unusual secondary interactions associated with the presence of Lewis acidic 16‐electron sandwich moieties. These structures can develop weak dative bonds as exemplified by the noncovalent Pd→Zr interaction in the heterobimetallic {Zr2Pd} complex (see picture).
