    Crystal structure of di-n-but­yl­bis­([eta]5-penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dien­yl)hafnium(IV)

    The crystal structure of the title compound, [Hf(C10H15)2(C4H9)2], reveals two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The diffraction experiment was performed with a racemically twinned crystal showing a 0.529 (5):0.471 (5) component ratio. Each HfIV atom is coordinated by two penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl and two n-butyl ligands in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry, with the cyclo­penta­dienyl rings inclined to one another by 45.11 (15) and 45.37 (16)°. In contrast to the isostructural di(n-butyl)bis([eta]5-penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dien­yl)zirconium(IV) complex with a noticeable difference in the Zr-butyl bonding, the Hf-Cbut­yl bond lengths differ from each other by no more than 0.039 (3) Å.

    Crystal structure of bis(η5-cyclopenta-dienyl)(2, 3-diethylbutane-1, 4-diyl)-hafnium(IV)
    (Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Burlakov, Vladimir V.; Baumann, Wolfgang; Arndt, Perdita; Spannenberg, Anke; Rosenthal, Uwe
    The title compound, [Hf(C5H5)2(C8H16)], proves a structural motif of hafna­cyclo­pentane besides the coordination of two cyclo­penta­dienyl ligands in an [eta]5-fashion. The hafna­cyclo­pentane ring has a twist conformation and is substituted by two ethyl groups in the [beta],[beta]'-positions, which are trans orientated to each other. One cyclo­penta­dienyl ring and one ethyl group are each disordered over two positions with site-occupancy ratios of 0.679 (15):0.321 (15) and 0.702 (18):0.298 (18), respectively.
