The regioselectivity of alkylation of lithium (trimethylsilyl) tetramethylcyclopentadienide C5Me4SiMe3 -Li+ was studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy using its reactions with MeI, MeOTs, ClCH2CH 2Br, and ClCH2CH2I in different solvents as representative examples. Sterically non-hindered MeI and MeOTs presumably attack the C atom bonded to the silyl group giving 1,2,3,4,5- pentamethylcyclopentadienylsilane. For bulkier alkyl halides, such as ClCH 2CH2Br and ClCH2CH2I, the regioselectivity of alkylation changes to form preferentially gem-dialkyl-substituted cyclopentadienes. The reaction of C5Me 4SiMe3 -Li+ with formaldehyde affords 1,2,3,4-tetramethylfulvene in a high yield, providing an alternative synthetic approach to a number of ω-functionalized peralkylated cyclopentadienes. The quantum-chemical calculations of the C5Me 4SiMe3 - anion by the RHF and DFT (RMPW1PW91) methods in the valence-split 6-311+G(d,p) basis set are in good agreement with the experimental data.

New zincocenes [ZnCp′2] (2-5) with substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands C5Me4H, C5Me 4tBu, C5Me4SiMe2tBu and C 5Me4SiMe3, respectively, have been prepared by the reaction of ZnCl2 with the appropriate Cp′-transfer reagent. For a comparative structural study, the known [Zn(C5H 4SiMe3)2] (1), has also been investigated, along with the mixed-ring zincocenes [Zn(C5Me5)(C 5Me4SiMe3)] (6) and [Zn(C5Me 5)(C5H4SiMe3)] (7), the last two obtained by conproportionation of [Zn(C5Me5),] with 5 or 1, as appropriate. All new compounds were characterised by NMR spectroscopy, and by X-ray methods, with the exception of 7, which yields a side-product (C) upon attempted crystallisation. Compounds 5 and 6 were also investigated by 13C CPMAS NMR spectroscopy. Zincocenes 1 and 2 have infinite chain structures with bridging Cp′ ligands, while 3 and 4 exhibit slipped-sandwich geometries. Compounds 5 and 6 have rigid, η5/ η1(σ) structures, in which the monohapto C 5Me4SiMe3 ligand is bound to zinc through the silyl-bearing carbon atom, forming a Zn-C bond of comparable strength to the Zn-Me bond in ZnMe2. Zincocene 5 has dynamic behaviour in solution, but a rigid η5/η1(σ) structure in the solid state, as revealed by 13C CPMAS NMR studies, whereas for 6 the different nature of the Cp′ ligands and of the ring substituents of the η1-Cp′ group (Me and SiMe3) have permitted observation for the first time of the rigid η5/η1 solution structure. Iminoacyl compounds of composition [Zn(η5- C5Me4R)(η1-C(NXyl)C5Me 4R)] resulting from the reactions of some of the above zincocenes and CNXyl (Xyl = 2,6-dimethylphenylisocyanide) have also been obtained and characterised.

The complexes (C5Me4H)2MR1R2 (M=Ti, Zr) and (C5Me4H)(C5H5)MR1R2 (M=Ti) have been prepared (R1=R2=Cl, CH3, C6H5, p-C6H4CH3, CO; R1=Cl, R2=CH3, C6H5, p-C6H4CH3).The NMR and IR spectra of these complexes indicate that C5Me4H exhibits an electron-donor effect more important than C5H5 and a little bit weaker than that of C5Me5.A structural investigation of the complex (C5Me4H)2Zr(C6H5)Cl and the study of the 1H or 13C dynamic NMR properties of the compounds (C5Me4H)2MR1R2 (M=Ti, Zr; R1=R2=C6H5, p-C6H4CH3; R1=Cl, Br, R2=C6H5, p-C6H4CH3) show clearly that C5Me4H has a steric effect intermediate between C5H5 and C5Me5.The steric or electronic effects of C5Me4H have been used to induce specific isomerization reactions of various alkenes by using (C5Me4H)2Ti(CH3)2 as catalyst. --- Key words: zirconium, titanium, tetramethylcyclopentadienyl, photo-assisted, isomerization.
