Popis: The organometallic salt [Cp3Zr(N≡C-CH3)]+ [CH3B-(C6F5)3]− (3a) has been prepared by treatment of Cp3ZrCH3 with B(C6F5)3 followed by the addition of acetonitrile. X-ray crystal structure analysis of 3a shows that its cation consists of three uniformly coordinated η5-cyclopentadienyl ligands about the zirconium atom. The acetonitrile ligand is end-on coordinated. In the linear [Zr] -N≡C-CH3 unit the C≡N triple bond [N-C2 1.126(5) A] is slightly shorter than in the free acetonitrile molecule [dC≡N = 1.141(2) A], the structure of which was determined as a reference by X-ray diffraction of a crystal obtained by IR-laser-induced zone melting on the diffractometer.
