Abstract: The ansa-zirconocene derivative tetramethyldisiloxandiyl bis(1-indenyl) zirconium dichloride(1) has been prepared by the reaction of the dilithium salt of 1,3-bis(1-indenyl) tetramethyldisiloxane with ZrCl4·2THF.After catalytic hydrogenation,the corresponding tetrahydroindenyl complex(2) has been formed.Both 1 and 2 have been shown by1H NMRspectra to be the mixture of the cis(meso) and trans(rac) isomers.The pure trans isomers 1t,2t and cis isomer 2c were obtained by recrystallization. The crystal structures of 1t and 2c were determined by X-ray diffraction. Both crystals of 1t and 2c are monoclinics,belonging to space groups P21/n(1t)and P21/c(2c).In the unit cell of 2c,one of the six-membered rings of the tetrahydroindenyl ligands has two different conformations which have the same probabilities.
