Reaction of Cp2*ZrH2 (Cp*, pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with excess hexafluorobenzene produces a mixture of Cp2*ZrHF, C6F5H and Cp2*Zr(C6F5)H in ca. 2:1:1 ratio. Reaction of Cp2*ZrH2 with excess C6F5H produces a mixture of Cp2*ZrHF, Cp2*Zr(C6F5)H, Cp2*Zr(o-C6F4H)H, p-C6F4H2, and o-C6F4H2 with preferred ortho aromatic C-F activation. Dual mechanisms are proposed for the formation of ArFH and Cp2*Zr(ArF)H species.
