Alkyl abstraction from {Me3SiN(CH2CH2-NSiMe3) 2}ZrR2(N3ZrR2; R = CH2Ph, Me) using B(C6F5)3 affords cationic alkyl complexes stabilized by a diamide ligand. The ionic η2-benzyl adduct decomposes slowly to give a cationic cyclometalation product, which coordinates the [PhCH2B(C6F5)3]- anion; the methyl cation coordinates the anion [MeB(C6F5)3]- via a Zr?Me-B interaction. The complexes exhibit moderate ethene polymerization activity.
