The intramolecular frustrated P/B Lewis pair Mes2PCH2CH2B(C6F5)2 (7) reacts readily with phenylsilane by heterolytic cleavage of the Si-H bond to give the zwitterion [Mes2(PhH2Si)P+CH2CH2B-H(C6F5)2] (8a), which has been fully characterized and its structure confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Variable-temperature NMR studies revealed that the reaction is reversible. Adduct 8a is the predominant species (ca. 98%) in CD2Cl2 solution at low temperature (193 K), whereas at ambient temperature (299 K) it exists in a ca. 7 : 3 equilibrium with unreacted 7 and PhSiH3. Diphenylsilane reacted similarly with the frustrated Lewis pair 7, however, the equilibrium was found to favor the starting materials in the investigated temperature range.

3-Ferrocenyl-2,4,5-tri-(β-naphthyl)cyclopentadienone undergoes a Diels–Alder reaction with di-(β-naphthyl) acetylene to yield, after elimination of carbon monoxide, ferrocenyl-penta-(β-naphthyl)benzene (4). 1H and 13C variable-temperature NMR studies on 4 reveal the existence of multiple diastereoisomers at low temperature. These data are interpreted in terms of slowed rotation of the naphthyl groups, and are supported by the X-ray crystal structure of 4, which exhibits disorder at three of the naphthyl sites.Key words: sterically crowded molecules, hindered rotations, crystallography, NMR.

Reaction of lithium(neomenthylcyclopentadienid) 3 with dimethyldichlorosilane gives dimethylbis[3-(neomenthyl)cyclopentadienyl]silane 4 regioselectively as a mixture of double bond shift isomers (57% isolated). Deprotonation with 2 equiv. of butyllithium followed by treatment with zirconiumtetrachloride furnished a mixture of the three {dimethylsilylenbis[η5-3-(neomenthyl)cyclopentadienyl][zirconium dichloride diastereomers from which the pure meso-like isomer 6e [p -R (1′S ,3 ′R ,4 ′R),p -S (1′S ,3 ′R ,4 ′R)] was isolated by fractional crystallization. Complex 6 c was characterized by an X-ray crystal structure analysis. Its D 1 - Zr - D 2 angle of 126.8° is very similar as observed in bis(η-cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride (D 1 and D 2 denote the centroids of the cyclopentadienyl rings). The homogeneous 6c/methylalumoxane Ziegler-type catalyst produces polypropylene of low molecular weight (Mη ≈ 670 at ambient temperature). Related catalyst systems may find interesting applications in organic synthesis.

The crystal structure of cis-chlorobis(triethylphosphine)-1,8-naphthyridineplatinum(II) tetrafluoroborate has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to an R-value of 0.063. The cell dimensions are a = 1.4246, b = 1.2676, c = 1.6530 nm, β = 115.66°. The space group is P21/c with 4 molecules per unit cell, and the measured density is 1.665 g cm−3. The structure is essentially a 4-coordinate square planar platinum(II) complex containing monodentate 1,8-naphthyridine. Interatomic distances to platinum are: Pt—Cl, 236.6(4); Pt—P(1), 225.4(4); Pt—P(2), 225.2(4); Pt—N(1), 208.3(11); and Pt—N(2), 304.5(14) pm. The structure is discussed in relation to variable temperature nmr studies of solutions, which indicate fluxional behaviour of the heterocyclic ligand.
