Reaction of 3 equivalents of ZrCl4 · 2Et2O (1) with 1 equivalent of (Et2N4Zr in diethyl ether readily affords crystalline (Et2N)ZrCl3 · 2Et2O (2) in almost quantitative yield. The product was characterised by elemental analysis and by 1H. 13 C NMR, and MS techniques. The reactivity of this reagent towards C-H acidic compounds has been studied using cyclopentadiene as a C-H acid. The crystal structures of both 1 and 2 have been determined by X-ray diffractometry. The coordination polyhedra reveal a nearly perfect octahedral geometry with a trans Et2O ligation for 1 and a cis one for 2.
