Notes:
(Butadiene)TaCp*Cl2 (6) was treated with CpNa to yield (η2-butadiene)TaCp*CpCl (7). Subsequent reaction with [Cp2ZrCH3+][CH3B(C6F5)3-] resulted in transfer of the chloride ligand from tantalum to zirconium with formation of the [(s-trans-η4-butadiene)TaCp*Cp]+ cation [8, with CH3B(C6F5)3- anion]. Complex 8 was characterized spectroscopically and by an X-ray crystal structure analysis. The group-5 [(s-trans-η4-C4H6)TaCp*Cp]+ bent metallocene cation complex 8 reacts with ketones (acetone, adamantanone) to yield the corresponding seven-membered 2-tantalatetrahydrooxepine cation complexes (9, 10). 1-Cyanoadamantane reacts with 8 to yield the 2-tantala-3,6-dihydro-2H-azepine cation system 11. Activation of 8 with methylalumoxane gives an active ethene polymerization catalyst.
