An ansa-zirconocene compound, [2,2'-methylenebis(1,3-dimethylcyclopentadienyl)lzirconium dichloride (5), bearing methyl substituents on the carbons adjacent to a bridgehead carbon, was synthesized by key steps of the catalytic Pauson-Khand reaction and the retro-Diels-Alder reaction. The crystal structure of 5 was determined. The small angle (117.15degrees) between the two centroids of the cyclopentadienyls and a zirconium atom and the absence of any substituents on the positions 8 with respect to the bridgehead carbon indicate that the coordination site for catalysis is widely opened. Compound 5, when activated with MAO, showed good performance for copolymerization of ethylene with a bulky monomer such as norbornene. The activity and norbornene incorporation ability are much better than those of [Ph2C(Fluo)(Cp)]ZrCl2.
