Organozirconium Chemistry - Organohafnium Chemistry

Organohafnium Chemistry

Organohafnium compounds are nearly identical to organozirconium compounds in that these two metals are extremely similar chemically. Cationic hafnocene complexes are relevant to alpha-olefin polymerization. Typical catalysts are bis(cyclopentadienyl)hafnium(IV) dichloride, bis(cyclopentadienyl)hafnium(IV) dihydride, and dimethylbis(cyclopentadienyl)hafnium(IV).
