Abstract
A detailed method for the preparation of [Cp '' Zr-2(eta(1:1)-P-4)](1) is presented. The coordination behavior of 1 towards Lewis acidic transition metal complexes of tungsten, manganese, and iron, respectively, and main group compounds (AlMe3, AlEt3) was investigated in detail by computational and experimental studies. In doing so, a series of unprecedented complexes with different coordi- nation modes and multiple coordination numbers of the tetraphosphabicyclo[1.1.0]butane framework were synthesized. All products, as well as the starting materials, were comprehensively characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray structural analysis.
