A 1:4 Adduct of Tetrachlorobis(μ-phenylimido)dizirconium(IV) and Tetrahydrofuran

The title complex, bis(μ-phenylimido)bis[dichlorobis(tetrahydrofuran)zinc], [Zr₂Cl₄(C₆H₅N)₂(C₄H₈O)₄], contains two octahedral Zr^IV ions which are connected by two bridging phenylimino ligands. The Zr coordination polyhedra have significantly different geometries. In one, the chloro ligands are cis, while in the other they take up trans positions. Both Zr^IV ions are situated on a twofold axis.
