    The title compound, [Zr2(C10H15)4(C6H6N2)2]·C6H14, was obtained by the stoichiometric reaction of adipo­nitrile with [Zr(C10H15)2([eta]2-Me3SiC2SiMe3)]. Intra­molecular nitrile-nitrile couplings and deprotonation of the substrate produced the (1-imino-2-enimino)­cyclo­pentane ligand, which functions as a five-membered bridge between the two metal atoms. The ZrIV atom exhibits a distorted tetra­hedral coordination sphere defined by two penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl ligands, by the imino unit of one (1-imino-2-enimino)­cyclo­pentane and by the enimino unit of the second (1-imino-2-enimino)­cyclo­pentane. The cyclo­pentane ring of the ligand shows an envelope conformation. The asymmetric unit contains one half of the complex and one half of the hexane solvent mol­ecule, both being completed by the application of inversion symmetry. One of the penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl ligands is disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.8111 (3):0.189 (3). In the crystal, the complex mol­ecules are packed into rods extending along [100], with the solvent mol­ecules located in between. The rods are arranged in a distorted hexa­gonal packing.

    Synthesis and crystallographic characterization of [2,2-bis­(η5-penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dien­yl)-3,4-bis(tri­methyl­sil­yl)-2-zircona­furan-5-one-κO5]triisobutyl­aluminium

    The crystal structure of the title zwitterionic zirconocene complex containing a furan­one unit, [AlZr(C10H15)2(C4H9)3(C9H18O2Si2)], is reported. On reacting a zircona­furan­one with two equivalents of HAl(i-Bu)2, disproportionation of the Lewis acid results in the formation of a triiso­butyl­aluminium fragment, Al(i-Bu)3, which coordinates to the exocyclic carbonyl O atom of the zircona­furan­one ring. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the zircona­furan­one ring remains intact with coordination of the aluminium to the exocyclic O atom. One of the i-butyl groups is disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.731 (3):0.269 (3).
