Abstract:
The title compound, [Zr(C(5)H(5))(2)(C(4)H(9)N)(C(5)H(5)N)], was obtained from the reaction of (C(5)H(5))(2)Zr(py)(η(2)-Me(3)SiC(2)SiMe(3)) (py is pyridine) and (t)BuN=C=N(t)Bu alongside the formation of (C(5)H(5))(2)Zr(CN(t)Bu)(η(2)-Me(3)SiC(2)SiMe(3)). The zirconium atom is coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by two cyclo-penta-dienyl ligands, a pyridine ligand, and a tert-butyl-imido ligand via a Zr=N double bond. The tert-butyl group is disordered over two positions in a 0.634 (5):0.366 (5) ratio.
