Abstract

In the title compound, [Zr(C(5)H(5))(C(13)H(9))(2)Cl]·C(7)H(8), the Zr(IV) atom is coordinated by a Cl atom, a cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) ligand [Zr-centroid (Cp) = 2.199 (3) Å] and two fluorenyl ligands (Fl) [Zr-centroid (Fl) = 2.273 (2) Å and Zr-CH from fluorenyl = 2.355 (2) Å] in a distorted tetra-gonal geometry. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the fluorenyl ring systems and the Cp ring are 36.62 (6)° for the η(1)-coordinated fluorenyl and 52.85 (6)° for the η(5)-coordinated fluorenyl, while the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two fluorenyl ring systems is 76.18 (7)°.
