Due to their rapid rearrangement to the more favorable metallacycles, bis(olefin) complexes of group IV transition metals, in contrast to those of other transition metals, have not been observed so far[31. By using the olefinic ligand 2,3,5,6-tetra- kis(methylene)bicyclo[2.2.2]octane 6[7aI, we have now been able to prepare, to our knowledge the first, bis(o1efin)zir- conocene complex isolable at room temperature. Bis(q5-cyclopentadienyl)zirconium(~~), generated in situ from diphenylzirconocene by photochemically induced re- ductive elimination of biphenylI5I, reacts with 6 by coordi- nation of the 1,Cdiene unit to give the title compound 7. 7, which is only moderately soluble in the aromatic sol- vents used, is very sensitive to air and moisture; like ha- loalkanes, oxygen also liberates the ligand 6. Thermolysis of 7 (benzene, 60 "C, tl,z= 5 min) leads to formation of its isomer 8, in which one of the two conjugated diene-units of 6 is bound to the zirconocene group. The bis(o1efin)zir- conocene complex 7 can be quantitatively recovered upon irradiation (HPK 125, Pyrex filter) of 8 in benzene solu- tion at room temperature.
