Abstract

Two alkyl and aryl substituted five-membered zirconacycloallenoids underwent a typical σ-alkyl metallocene reaction with B(C6F5)3, namely cleavage of the Zr-C(sp(3)) bond with formation of zwitterionic (η(2)-allenyl)zirconium/alkylborate products. Both products were characterized by X-ray crystal structural analyses.
