Abstract
The reaction of ZrCl4 with three equivalents of LiNCy2 (Cy is cyclohexyl) resulted in the formation of tris(dicyclohexylamido)zirconium chloride and the title compound, [Zr(C12H22N)4]. The latter is isotypic with its cerium(IV) analogue and crystallizes with three independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. One molecule is located about a twofold rotation axis, and the other two on fourfold inversion axes. In each molecule, the ZrIV atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment. The crystal under investigation was twinned by inversion in a 1:1 ratio.
