| الوصف: | Analysis of a monoclinic modification of Zr(CH2Ph)4 by single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the bond angles Zr–CH2–Ph in this compound span a range of 25.1°, which is much larger than previously observed for the orthorhombic form (12.1°). In accord with this large range, density functional theory calculations demonstrate that little energy is required to perturb the Zr–CH2–Ph bond angles in this compound. Furthermore, density functional theory calculations on Me3ZrCH2Ph indicate that bending of the Zr–CH2–Ph moiety in the monobenzyl compound is also facile, thereby demonstrating that a benzyl ligand attached to zirconium is intrinsically flexible, such that its bending does not require a buffering effect involving another benzyl ligand. |
