Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The route taken</bold> depends on the metals and Cp′ ligands chosen, as illustrated by reactions of Group 4 metallocene complexes and diphenylated acetonitrile, Ph₂CHCN, which undergo coupling, coordination, or H‐shifts. Additionally, for zirconocene, an unexpected six‐membered fused zirconaheterocycle was formed by changing the substrates to monophenylated acetonitrile, PhCH₂CN, and bis(trimethylsilyl)butadiyne. More details of this fascinating chemistry are reported in the Full Paper by U.
