Abstract

The complexes [ZrL(OC6H4-2-X)3] (L- = HB{3,5-Me2C3HN2}3-, X = H (1), F (2)) are compared structurally with analogous precedents.  Whilst the {LZr}3+ moiety possesses formal or pseudo-C3v symmetry in both cases, the phenoxide ligands adopt a wide variety of attitudes thereto, which appear to be driven mainly by packing forces.
