Popis: The action of one equivalent of BuLi on 2-cyclopentadienyl-2-fluorenylpropane (C5H5CMe2C13H9) led to the monoanionic salt LiC5H4CMe2C13H9. This anion was reacted with Fe2Cl4(THF)3, TiCl3(THF)3, ZrCl4, HfCl4 or CpZrCl3, DME and, in a mixture with CpLi, with Fe2Cl4(THF)3 affording the corresponding metallocenes and metallocene dichlorides. The X-ray structure of Fe(η5-C5H4CMe2C13H9)2 is described. The first results about the reactivity of the fluorenyl group are reported together with the synthesis of Zr(η5-C5H5)[η5-C5H4CMe2-η5-C13H8Rh(cod)]Cl2, which has been tested using hydroformylation and cyclotrimerisation catalysis.
