A variety of new chiral one-carbon-bridged metallocene derivatives of titanium and zirconium has been prepared. Addition of the anions of cyclopentadiene, indene and fluorene to 6-t-butylfulvene produced the ligands t-BuCH(C 5 H 5 )R (R=C 5 H 5 ,8;C 9 H 7 ,9;C 13 H 9 ,10). The reaction of the ligands8–10 with n-BuLi produced the corresponding bis-anions, which were reacted with titanium or zirconium tetrachloride at low temperature (−78°C), to produce the complexes t-BuCH(η 5 -C 5 H 4 )(R)MCl 2 (R = η 5 -C 5 H 4 ,M=Ti,11;R= η 5 -C 5 H 4 ,M=Zr,12,R= η 5 -C 9 H 6 ,M=T,14;R= η 5 -C 9 H 6 ,M=Zr,15;R= η 5 -C 13 H 8 ,M=Zr,16). The chlorine atoms in complexes11 and16 can be easily replaced by methyl groups producing the corresponding dimethyl derivatives13 and17.
