Tetra­kis(di­cyclo­hexyl­amido)­zirconium(IV)

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of Zr(C12H22N)4 is isotypic with its cerium(IV) analogue. 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.
