In Situ Construction of a Coordination Zirconocene Tetrahedron

Abstract

The current study describes the first in situ synthesis and characterization of a new family of cationic coordination tetrahedra of both the V4F4 and V4E6 type, which are constructed by a new building block based on a trinuclear zirconocene moiety and the dicarboxylate or tricarboxylate anions.
