1-Mercuraindane (6) was prepared in three steps from 1-bromo-2-(2-bromoethyl) benzene (3) and converted into 1-magnesaindane (1) by reaction with magnesium. In solution, 6 was observed to occur in a remarkable dimer/trimer equilibrium, whereas 1 forms a dimer. From 1 and dichlorozirconocene, the 1-zirconaindane 2 was obtained, which reacted with B(C6F5)3 to form the adduct 13. According to spectroscopic data, 13 is formed by attack of the p-methylene carbon atom at the boron atom and has a zwitterionic structure with weak interactions between the zirconium ion and one of the ortho-fluorine atoms.
