Abstract
(Figure Presented) Being positive about anions: Hydrocarbon complexes containing negative-valent Hf are obtained for the first time as tris(polyarene)hafnates(2-), polyarene = anthracene (An) and naphthalene, where the latter functions as a synthon for the unknown atomic Hf2- (see scheme, cot = 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene). Tris(anthracene)metalates(2-) of Ti and Zr were also accessed,which completes an unprecedented triad of tris(arene)metal complexes.
