Notes:
The title compound, [Zr(C7H7)3(C15H17)], (I), crystallizes from light petroleum with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Whereas in the parent molecule, Zr(η5-C5H5)(CH2Ph)3, all three Zr—CH2Ph angles are equal, in (I), they differ significantly. In spite of their different environments, both independent molecules in (I) exhibit a small, an expected, and a large Zr—CH2Ph angle. The angles are similar to those of the closely related tribenzyl[η5-(benzyldimethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyl]zirconium complex. The smallest Zr—CH2Ph angle and the consequently relatively short Zr...Cipso distance are indicative of η2-bonding of the benzyl group.
